Thanks . Your RV-4 in a hot looking plane. Do you know how fast it goes. I would love to rave against it, All though I might out run you, it would be fun. I have always likes RV and it looks great as a racing plane--if thats what you meant for yours to look like. Yesterday, I put a .70 4 stroke in the nose. HEHEHE, maybe more speed, later on im going to chop the wing and tail feathers if I get around to it. and again more speed. gotta love it.

it is kyoshos arf. and its not a draggy thing, it goes fast. I wanted to do this to be different. as you can see it is a slime looking plane except for the fat fus. I love agwagons, and have had 3 look in my gallery and youll see pics of all 3.
If you dont mind me asking--- did you make that question to be mean--it looks like it-- sorry if you didnt mean for it to be.

That thing is a tank. With a .70 in it you think its fast? My cap probably is faster then that thing. If you want to brag about a fast airplane why don't you build one that is made to go fast?
Of course I'm not trying to be mean. I just want to know why you do this. :stupid:

Hey----------Im going to come out and say this--------FOR A CROPDUSTER, IT IS FAST. How many cropduster have been modified to "race". Some one said today that it would make a good pylon racer. I have to be able to buy a fast plane. right now I am building a fast plane---a mustang to be modified to be Dago Red----all though its going to weight 10 pounds and has a 62 inch wingspan, lol . this is all I have to run fast. look in my gallery and youll see what I have.
Its not a tank, its only 6 pounds. someone said that the only thing about it is its big nose, besides its supposed to fly slow, lol.
If this sounds mean--im not trying to be, but this is my first plane to be able to run that fast, Ill find out its speed and get back to you. and why are you picking on a kid--geez---lol j/j.

You said it, it is supposed to fly slow. Nothing on that airplane is built with speed in mind besides your canopy modification. The wing is meant for slow speed maneuvering and the fuse is huge. Put wheel pants on that thing. I doubt that thing even breaks 90mph. Whoever told you that would make a good pylon racer has never been to a pylon race. A predator with a .40 on it would do 2 laps before that thing does 1 unless of course you got a race together that consists of all agwagons. You being a kid has nothing to do with anything. In the crash forum you speak of your "experience" in seeing all these 3d aircraft crash. I'm sure the number is huge, lol. Time to run with the big boys, son. Should have put your agwagon money into a WM Dago. Keep at it kid. 
Anyway sorry to get off topic. Nice Rv-4 by the way. I have a friend that owns a real rv and was given a chance to get some hours in on it. Handles nicely.

I agree about the off topic, but I got this agwagon from DAD for christmas.and I love to modify my planes like putting 21 wheels on my kadet.I got this agwagon before I got the stang. I redid the wing to take the stress, and you are right--itll never break 90mph--with a tail wind ,but what Im trying to say is that this isnt a ordinary agwagon--it is faster that a normal one, and my "experience" in 3d crashes--ive seen my fair share, and as far as my flying,lets say i also have my fair share of a healthy 3-4 a year. lol.
I see you fly to, my step dad has a CJ-1 Corby Starlet, ever seen one or heard of it.I have about 3 hours of flight time on my hands with him. At oshkosh, there are lots of RV-4s there its amazing.

Have you ever seen the Thrush commander airtractor kits?Very good looking planes, The only bad thing is they dont offer them in .40 size , Only 1.20 and up .
