RE: Hangar 9 40 Size Piper Pawnee!!!
Pearl - Yes the Tiggers did have a great year - The Alaska (Ak) Ravorbacks must have snuck in a game. I know the AR Razorbacks did need the triple overtime to do the trick, but then again it was the scoreboard that told the tale.
On the point of struts on the Pawnee, in many ways you right. On this model, they are mostly cosmetic, but they are still have some function. But, on some larger planes (i.e some 1/4 Scale and larger Cubs and some other high wing planes) they are functional. I, like you, have flown plenty of planes of my 20+ years where the struts were just there and performed no function. But the whole point is, a Pawnee without wing struts is just not a Pawnee.
