Brian,,, thanks for the guess and the answer is no. It's not a full scale P-51,, but close. ( Actually Brian nailed it first try! Being as he ruined my fun by insider info,, I edited his correct post,,,, dastardly I know but I was looking forward to seeing what you guys are made of in the guessing arena.) Sorry Brian,, Biffy |

I would guess a new Edge, but I really can't see them good enough to tell. Upon further review, there might be two wings, hmmm...maybe a full scale Pitts?

Iv'e seen Matts' Pitts in person and saw it fly...If I had the cash it would already be mine! It is 100% flawless and Matt is so freaking anal about his stuff, that everything is top shelf! COME ON IRS TAX CHECK!! I hope I beat sombody to it!! The Paint job is perfect too! **And the answer to the "Name the wing on the wall contest" Thats easy...it's a 1937 Ford Fliver with a with a Higgins 3 cylinder flat top engine, imported leather interior from Omaha Beef Bi-Products. Sorry Biff...had to spill the beans!

If you're right Texx, and it's a Flivver, that explains why the structure is so tall, so tall I thought it was two wings. That is the largest wing area of any monoplane I've ever seen. BTW: Imported leather from Omaha Beef Products? Good one...

Okay everyone....i got wind that my name was being disparaged here!! So...as Sadler would say "Oh behave" So, who ever heard of a P-51 or an Edge with wooded wings?? Think 1946...Spanish...Bi-plane.... Nice sight. I'll be adding this one to my faves! Bucker Jungmann... |
