Default One of the best - Bootlegger 60

Just though you guys would like to see one of the best pattern plane from back in the day of the screaming Rossi and Webra motors. This plane belong to Mr. Bill Bennet of Circus Circus. I was fortunate to acquire it from his estate thru Steve Strickler. I believe this plane was built by Don Weiz also a know pattern guy back in the day. I tell you, this plane is so straight and expertly built, it needs to be on a mantal or in a store window. The plane came with the original kraft servos which I replace with futabas. The engine is a speed Webra with the dynamax carb. The compression is unbelieveable and it weighs 8lbs 10 ozs. The fillets on the vertical stab to fuse is as smooth as a baby's butt. The fitting of the wing to fuse wing sattle area - you couldn't squeez a piece a paper anywhere in that area. This is one beautiful airplane - I'm almost afraid to fly it, but I will. I've included some pictures for those who may have forgotten what the Bootlegger looked like. enjoy
