The biggest airshow in the world, EAA Airventure at Oshkosh, Wisconsin, USA, has begun today. I am listening to the commentary live streaming here: tunein.com/station/?StationId=126404Quite good. How many forum members are actually there this year? |

It's a GeeBee R6-H scale reproduction ... But the scale is about 120%!!.
The owner made it bigger so he could have it as a two-seater.
Same engine as a T-28 Trojan, about 1,500hp where the original had about 700hp. It must be a hoot to fly, but heavy on the hydrocarbons. :-)

Wow. Does it sound like three concrete mixers in formation, like the Trojan? |
