Till then, we are going to try to put something on that is a little bit of an attention getter, as if an R-2800 and gull wings don't get enough attention already!

Well ... the paint job that Dan posted has to be the most attention getting F4U that I have ever laid eyes on ... it is gorgeous.

Does he need any peelots Bod, I'll have a ton of tail wheel time by then. LOL

get yourself 250 hours of T-6 time, and we'll talk! Ohh, and btw, 150 of that had best be in the "bucket" so you learn to fly over a long nose!

Sorry Furbie, but the Limey schemes are out... the one you put up on the squad forums has some potential though.

Any thoughts on that VF-89, July 45 scheme Bodhi?

Not being one sided or anything but the kiwi (NZ) paint scheme is the best.
See Furballs “limy” and http://www.nzfpm.co.nz/former/f4u1.htm paint schemes

30 gals and hour X 4.25 a gal = 127.50 X 250 = $31,875 just for the gas ARgh. hehehe

Bucket meaning the back seat?

Just pull the rpm, and manifold back to just above stall speed, thats what i do when gas becomes an issue

Who says AH cant teeach ya how to fly

Only problem i can see is finding a T-6 owner who would like to see his bird at tree top level in fuel economy mode heh
