I saw this plane perform at the airshow in Slaton Texas last year he is part of Franklin Airshows. I visited with the pilot for a while he was more than friendly. I asked a lot of questions about the plane if I remember correctly it was a custom built plane with a custom built 900hp 9 cylinder radial. He did the most amazing low level stunt show I have ever seen in person he did things at low level maybe 100ft or less that I'm not sure I would be willing to try with my rc. Has anyone else seen his show? There is a short video on the Franklin Airshow sight. An rc model similar to this would be Awsome.

Hello farmflyer,
Had seen the Drac say a year ago while perusing the aerobatic YouTube files.
If you want to get your groove on, here is one that looks loosely similar and could do the same stuff if your skill set is up to it.

both of those guy really no how to put on a show that's for sure!! I had a chance to work on patty wagstaffs extra 300 once when I worked at Penn Yan Aero services in the summer of 95. What a great lady she was to talk to as well and an amazing pilot to. She gave my boss a ride it was spectacular all though he kissed the ground when they landed LoL.Comment
