Hangar 9 P-40 is JUNK
Probably old news to those of you in the know...
I just saw my first real disapointment in H-9. A friends P-40 originally had trouble with the firewall. Ripped out on the 2nd takeoff roll with only a Saito 100 in the nose.
Last weekend I watched the wings fold during a pull from level flight. During the post-mortem we found that the spar had been made from nothing but thin soft flimsy crap that could barely even be called wood.
I am now VEEEEEEEEEERY leery about H-9. What a huge ripoff. And this poor guy simply doesn't have the budget to replace it.
Just a heads up, guys. Be careful !
