NIce plane, allways when I see a picture of one of those or of the F2G, I get the feeling, that the designer mainly intendet to put the largest and most powerfull motor available into the tinyest airframe it would fit, just to see, what would happen:).
Best thing about the plane: You can use it to make wonderful Ice Cream.

Naa, that would be the Grumman Bearcat. Corsair engine in a plane the size of an F4F.
