RE: "How Fast" Airspeed Instrument

RE: New moter is bad? HELP!!!

RE: Show us your scratch built foamys

Here's one I started to build as a small plane, than thought I'd like it bigger so I added another body to it - it's kind of a "work in process". Not quite sure what to call it - biplane? Bibody?...
