There is actually one other thing about that plane, see if you can pick it out. hey it took you guys all day long to figure out THAT one!!!

BTW, here's the "other" plane I built, Dean Funk (handglider) painted it. This plane will be at the nats....not sure if it'll be my primary or backup yet.

But Arch's plane has to be seen in person, pics don't do either one of these justice. perfect? no but whatcha want in a week?

Bryan, thank you for your comments!

(Spoken by a WWF announcer)

AAAARRRRRRRREEEE YYYOOOOOOOOUUUUUU REEEEEEAAAADDDDDYYYYY TOOO RRRRRUUUUMMMMBLE?

When I designed this event, I absolutely was thinking about the work of Raiko Potter. In my opinion, Raiko is one of the most creative and talented modelers on the planet...here is his 2007 Concours d'Elegance entry.

Incredible...I am told the INSIDE is as detailed!

Just met Raiko a week or so ago and very glad to have done so. Great guy and the work he does is incredible

Status: offline 		Yep I got to see that plane up close and personal last weekend. Good grief...the detail on that thing would make the Japanese bow!!! Seriously, the inside of that plane is nicer than the outside...even the engine compartment is severely detailed.

Nice work Raiko, that one is outstanding as usual!

And I want to (again) echo Bryan's sentiments, thank you Rusty for giving us something to shoot for. Your work is very much appreciated by us ALL.

-Mike
