| Notes: The amazing things you learn
building model airplanes. These guys had some cajones! They climbed
in these things and flew at almost 400 mph a few feet off the water
and COULD NOT SEE OUT THE FRONT! All this while crazy Italians and 'Mericans
were trying to catch them. I have no idea how they were able to fit
themselves AND their balls into these small cockpits. A very worthy
ancestor to the Spitfire. The ancient Hawk kit with the exhausts
drilled out and .005 stainless wire rigging. For some crazy reason I
even rescribed the wings. |
