the REAL World Model's yellow P-51 Mustang
I love my WM yellow Rockwell International P-51 Mustand with a Saito .72. If you have one post some pics here.
For those of you that don't know, the yellow Rockwell P-51 WM plane is from the full scale P-51 yellow Mustang that Robert A. "BOB" Hoover flew when he was a factory demo and test pilot. He was the race safety pilot also flying that plane over the Reno racers too during a race to guide pilots when they got into trouble. Thats why the registration sticker is 51RH for Robert Hoover. He is one of the most talented airshow and test pilots to ever live. He is a living legend in the full scale aviation world. I was lucky enough to see him a few times fly the twin commander with the airshow routine when he shuts down one and then both engines and does 16 point rolls gliding, then follows with the classic one wheel landing. He's got gifted hands for sure.
His book, "Forever Flying" is a great read.
