My P-40 is finally done and ready to go. It's final weight came out to around 9 LBS. That's with a Tiger Shark 75A, Monokote covering and fixed landing gear. It sure is a beaut!

You 'll have tp come to warbirds over Pennsylvania since we allow all size warbirds on Sunday!
that way we can fly formation!


Good luck in the 1st flights! Which Radio are you using? and why no retracts?

Answers for all. I didn't use retract because quite frankly I didn't want to pay $200.00 for them. And for Neo, US185DAMIANI is the one who instructed me on the camo. It is mearly painted on with an ordinary can of spray paint. I used Midwest Formula U flat camo tan. It was alot easier than I thought it would be and it comes out great.
