If it is what I think it is, it should be nice!  Great to see progress on a beautiful airplane.

Man, this is a really cool thread! The guy I just got my AMA turbine waiver from used to fly P-51's and F-86's in the National Guard. He even had to eject from one after a rocket misfired and exploded inside the fuselage. He and I fly RC alot together, so I might have to print off this thread and show him.  He's got some kickass stories.

| Re: Full scale F-86 rebuild thread
I'd love to...the only rub is, it's a single seat fighter. There was only 3 2-seat versions ever built, and none of them survived. It was ugly anyways...had a clamshell canopy, very much like a T-33. It's by far the smallest cockpit I've sat in. I'm 5'10" and it's a tight fit, I have to duck to close the canopy. The T-bird and F-100s are much roomier. I've talked to several Sabre pilots, and one of the things they liked about it was that it felt very much like an extension of yourself, 'cause you're damn near wearing it.
