[AlaskaRC] [Acro] ICAS and Reno - good article

[Marty Hall]

That plane was as far as being an "OLD" WWII plane as yesterday's Ferrari
production... The basic concept was there, but after that... a production
P-51 would be left in it wake.

              The interest in the Reno subject is coming from many
directions.  The following links came to me from a retired FedEx pilot  and
will put the lie to Galloping Ghost being a tired, pumped up, retread WWII
relic.   

 

         They almost give a ground-up view of the assembly process of
Galloping Ghost. Totally professional. I doubt that there is an original
North American part in the plane. Almost seamless, rivet-free fuse, wing and
tail feathers.  Completely custom cockpit, etc, etc.

 

         There are 190 pics in the first link re assembly, 128 in the second
re roll-out and test flight. Excellent views of the horizontal stab,
elevator, trim tabs (both left and right!) when you find them in link 1.
Example - pic 86 .
