Okay, how about the P-40F and L models. These versions were equipped with a Rolls Merlin and were some of the fastest of all the wartime P40 models.

1. A modification of an existing design, by a different manufacturer.
2. As is usually the case, the modifications were an attempt to gain higher performance. In this case, they actually succeeded. 3. This wasn't easy, as the existing airplane already had excellent performance. 4. Several hundred were ordered but very few actually delivered, through no fault of the airplane itself. 5. Most of the improved performance was the result of a new engine. piston powered 6. It was Allied. |
Not the P-40 or F-15/P-61.
7. Though the re-engined airplane never saw mass production, The original airplane remained in production for several more years and saw combat as late as the late 1960's. |

Ding! Ding! Ding! Johnny, tell him what he's won! The F2G was a real beast. 3000 hp and a rate-of-climb no early jet could touch. Here's a photo I took this summer of the only stock F2G left.http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/atta...mentid=2119965This example is airworthy but hasn't flown in years. It's all stock and still has it's original R-4360. Another example survives that was modified for racing. It's based in Arizona and flies regularly.

Copy this and and paste it and add other clues. PLZ
OK, this should be an easy one. 1. A modification of an existing design, by a different manufacturer. 2. As is usually the case, the modifications were an attempt to gain higher performance. In this case, they actually succeeded. 3. This wasn't easy, as the existing airplane already had excellent performance. 4. Several hundred were ordered but very few actually delivered, through no fault of the airplane itself. 5. Most of the improved performance was the result of a new engine. 6. It was Allied. |
Mines a arf that used to be made by green models. 30" its been taking a long time to finish due to time shortages.

I am travelling at this moment so if anybody has a question fire away.

OK I have one.
This aircraft was destroyed due to an unintended consequence of a specific action by a foreign government. |
Heinkel He 162 V1 prototype.
(because a British bomber crew had mistakenly destroyed a glue factory) |
That's a great guess but not what I was thinking about
1) This aircraft was destroyed due to an unintended consequence of a specific action by a foreign government. 2) The action was not an act of war. |
CF 105 Arrow

Not the CF 105
1) This aircraft was destroyed due to an unintended consequence of a specific action by a foreign government. 2) The action was not an act of war. 3) Destroyed in the Foreign Land |
1) This aircraft was destroyed due to an unintended consequence of a specific action by a foreign government.
2) The action was not an act of war. 3) Destroyed in the Foreign Land 4)Top Speed 84mph |
1) This aircraft was destroyed due to an unintended consequence of a specific action by a foreign government. What was the aircraft and what was the "specific action"
2) The action was not an act of war. 3) Destroyed in the Foreign Land 4) Top Speed 84mph 5) This type of aircraft had been used years before as a bomber and scout but this one was destroyed while flying as a commercial aircraft. |

That's the one!

My Dad grew up a few miles from Lakehurst, NJ, where the Hindenburg burned. He was three years old at the time.

OK - I guess I should post something ~ so here goes...
What Warbird do I describe? 1) This US warbird was originally designed as a civilian transport & business aircraft - a very early forerunner of the Lear Jet 23 |
Beech d18
|
T-39 Sabreliner?
