Just to add a little to the story of the full scale Reno Racer, "Tsunami." It was based on a P51 Mustang, and crashed killing the pilot when a flap came off the airplane on a landing approach. Max, you just got caught up in name game. How many airplanes have been given the name "Mustang"? I can think of at least 5 full scale Mustangs, and if you go around the world, and then add all the models with the name, that in no way resemble the origional North American Aviation P-51 Mustang there's probabably 100's! When my son was 5 years old he told some friends he had built a Quickie. They were home built aviation people, so the knew he was BS-ing thinking that he was telling them that he hat built a Burt Rutan Quickie. Actually he was BS-ing telling them that he had built a Glen Spickler Quickie 500. Either way he was busted for lying!
