Guest Maj Millard Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bexrbetter Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Would you consider that since planes are generally expensive that people who can afford them are more likely to buy their 'dream' plane? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most dedicated 'racers' do require special skills to operate them, they generally are not your average machine............ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Bugatti...Built to fly fast. The engine is probably down the back and the over the fence speed is probably about 140 knots. nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
