New planes
The trophy McCoy .19 has a home. I put the graphics on right after the orange on the wing tips. I call it "Rat Fink", after the "Big Daddy" Ed Roth cartoon character. No special reason I just like the name. It still needs the clear coats and final assembly.
I got a Super Tiger .51 from Ebay for 25 bucks. I kept the innerds from the .51 I sent out for bearings so I installed the ABC piston and liner into the ebay engine and put the engine on the plane I call the "Carpet Bagger". It had a .51 in it originally.
The other plane I deceided to name it "Oosa Stunt Man" after the three names given to the three originals. The first plane ws a no name plane except it had very large USA on one wing and AMA on the other. So someone started calling it "Oosa-Amma". the second plane didn't have a name either but to be used in a magazine article it needed a name so the editor called it "Stunt Machine". The third copy the designer did name, he called it "Statesman" I actually thought about calling it Oosa Bin Laden" but didn't.
