It's not like one needs to be dogfighting with Mustangs these days.

Buy 2 mustangs, put paintball guns on it, and have fun with rich friends

Something cheap and a tad faster perhaps?

If you'd mod them by stretching the canvas on the wings, - well....a lot better.
BTW, just flew a 1960 model of a Jodel the other day.
Bloody thing will with it's mere 90 hp outperforms a Cessna 172, (with 2 passengers) with absolute ease. Absolutely an incredible little thing. And....stall at some 42 kts, and there are no flaps, just airbrakes!

There is a guy in South America (sorry do not remember the country,you'll have to google) that makes full scale Storches using original blueprints.

And damn, with dollar this low i can afford my self a scale plane??

After cleaning up the most of the drool ,- do you have more on this????????????

[Gianlupo]

Jurca, you mean? Nope, sorry..... I'm afraid you'll have to write them and ask how much does it cost to build one of those gorgeous replicas Try google it, I bet you can find more. I discovered Mr. Jurca's work on a magazine, just checked their site.

Unfortunately, it still seems to be out of action because of belly landing due to landing gear failure last year.

At ~3000kg flying weight it is much much lighter than the originals so even with *only* 1200hp it should be a lot of fun.

Ahhh, thanks, WM! I'd love to have it... and the MJ-100 (spit)!
