Old designs made new.........

[Guest Maj Millard]

Aviation to me is an amazing area of interest, even if your not a pilot. Quite amazing how classic aircraft designs just keep coming back if you hang around long enough. For instance the 'new' built Bucker Jungmeister which was one of the finest aerobatic biplanes ever built in the 30s and 40s of last century, and the great footage on the GeeBee QED aircraft which appears to be with us again in stunning replica form in the US.

 

Both aircraft rebuilds can be viewed by clicking on the 'videos' section of this forum.......Maj...

To say nothing about the Bugatti racer replica being built in the US.

Would you consider that since planes are generally expensive that people who can afford them are more likely to buy their 'dream' plane?

Not too bad, will be better once they put the tailwheel in the right place

Chipyak or Yakmunk? The canopy is a bit Harvard too... I go for the Chipvard.

How the hell do you land that thing??? And yes, "fast" and "carefully" come to mind, but it just looks like it wants to tip onto the prop at the drop of a hat.

Most dedicated 'racers' do require special skills to operate them, they generally are not your average machine............

Bugatti...Built to fly fast. The engine is probably down the back and the over the fence speed is probably about 140 knots. nev
