When boys have too much time and money

You have to admire the craftsmanship and imagination to even attempt this.

[R-2800]

That is fantastic!! Wonder what kind of engine and horsepower. I bet she's smooth too. Roll up yer pant legs. And is that a Ryan Firebee behind the bike?

Looks like a Skyraider to me, check out the dorsal to the vertical stab.

also no cowl scoop on any Fireball I can find. Its hard to tell from tha angle but the Fire ball had a really distinctive wing shape with a step-like thing at the root.. Ah, real technical me?

Very cool bike! I believe the a/c is a T-28 Trojan.

 

[102first_hussars]

That is pretty cool

 

[Lucky13]

Think that they can build one for me with a Pratt Whitney R-2800?

These were his first try at it.

 

[Heinz]

woah!

Rigid frame, like I want

However without the radial!

That would be rather nuts although I've got a picture of a bike with a 24cylinder engine init. Possibly a Napier out of a Tempest

I think you are right on the Trojan....Never crossed my mind.

 

[Matt308]

I too agree. Didn't even think of it.

Pretty cool pic. that prop is way sexy, but it's gonna show the damage and wear easily...

 

[Glider]

wow that must have taken a long time to make!!

The Bike or the Prop?
