Aloha Gentlemen,
I just ordered from Tomas an ESM Skyraider kit. Please...may I join this fraternity.
I'm a retired Army Viet Nam area helicopter gun pilot. Flew "B & C" model Huey guns ships in South East Asia. Our Joker fire teams flew along side both the Air Force and Navy Skyraiders. My first tour of duty was in 1966~1967...at 19 years of age. My second tour was with the same company, the 48th. Assault Helicopter Company...and with the 48ths Joker fire teams. The Skyraiders would come in and do their thing...and we would swoop into the area low level and help clean up the area.
I am going to power the ESM Skyrader with a PTE 36R (it was in my ESM F6F) and Sierra landing gear. Airtonics ten G and HD1501 servo's. I will install an electric tail wheel from Century Jet. I pray I will able to get this airframe under 18#'s and fly as nice as my ESM Hellcat did.
Soft Landings Always,
Bobby of Maui
