2012 SAM Silver Warbird Entry
 

I'm looking forward to the 2012 SAM Warbird Racing Season. Here is my entry for next year's Silver class races. This is a Hangar 9 Corsair50 ARF that I'm modifying into the #1 Budlight Super Corsair. I've clipped the wings, modded the firewall for a YS110, strengthened the horizontal tail and wing, added trailing edge wing fillets, etc. I need to strengthen the vertical tail, add the retracts, and vacuum form a new canopy (stock F4U canopy not correct for scale). Then it is just a matter of recovering the airplane and paint it to match the real thing. I've enjoyed being a spectator too long, now it is time to join in the fun.

Keep at it gutboy, it's lookin' good.
So will you be travelling with the Shaws? Or one of the other competitors from Redding?
Are you one of the old timers that remembers flying with us up at Warren field off Lake Blvd?

RE: 2012 SAM Silver Warbird Entry
 

Yes, I will be tagging along with the Redding gang. No, I'm not one of the "Old Timers", but I do know what you are talking about when it comes to Warren Field.

So What happened to the Two Minute Tango? Anybody know why it got axed?

RE: 2012 SAM Silver Warbird Entry
 

Tango not axed. The CD "Super K" had a lot of stuff going on this year and decided to take a year off from running the race. He has plans to run it next year.
