Default RE: NAME THIS PLANE

Ha Ha It was the Rossi that sealed the deal for me. Took it all apart and gave it a really good cleaning. Looks like it has seen very little fuel. The bearings had no rust, just a tad on the backside of the crank. Got it all clean, oiled and re-assembled. Carb looks small compared to the Rossi .45 on my warbird racer but does have the remote needle setup. The header is a Rossi peice and the pipe appears to be a Supertiger unit ( removeable tail peice )

Tomorrow I will start taking the airplane apart and get ready for the tedious job of sanding all the old paint off. The original wing is beyond repair but it came with a set of sheeted cores pre routed for the retracts and aileron servos.

Not too shabby as I traded an electric Katana for it that I was trying to sell for 175.00
