Projects O/T Caudron Racer replica

nice job wow ............ how fast is she and what is her stall speed did she race against h hugh,s, emilia e in america

 

This looks like something from those preWW2 'Flight' magazines ...

 

The plane actually flies pretty good. I got it up to about 240mph on the way back to Flabob from the photo shoot shown above. I never stalled it, but at 100 it's getting a little mushy. In ground effect though, it will float the length of the runway unless the power is pulled all the way off. I typically fly downwind at 120, base at 110 and try to be close to 100 over the fence. Any slower and the nose gets so high that it wants to land tailwheel first and it's really blind. Our runway at Flabob is only 40' wide, so I need all the help I can get.
Last week we finished dis***embling the airplane and loaded it into a container for shipment to France for the summer airshow season.
On to the next project........

what a set of curves!

 

The Corben you built is great too. They were always a good looking plane.
The C.460 is just ***y in those in flight photos.

 

Beautiful ship!. Amazing craftsmanship.
I just took my grand kids through the Aviation museum at Drake field in Fayetteville Arkansas. They have the replica of the Travel Air Mystery ship on display. It alone was worth the trip.

 

Wow.
