Hello, Mark....

MC> Is this the Gold Edition you are talking about?
Yes, they were the Gold Edition - both built within the past year - don't
recall the exact weight, but "ready-to-fly", each was probably in the 9-10
lb. range - both were built with retracts (which do not work well on our
bumpy hay-field site) which were later removed.

My building is rather straight-forward, true to design, and without any
modifications (unless customer requests), covered with Super Coverite and
painted with one filler coat (well sanded) and 2 or 3 coats of polyurethane
enamel. The pony is much heavier construction design and larger than
the TF Corsair - which, BTW, flies like a dream - it's much harder to
build, however, with its gull-shaped wing. If you're thinking about a
TF warbird, I'd suggest the F4U rather than the Mustang. TTYL - Roger
