Below is a friends 80" span vintage plane that looks very similar to the Long Cabin aquired from a swapmeet, please email me if you know what the plane is called. It is powered with a Super Tigre .51 engine with a 14*6 propellor making it low reving and very reliable. |

Above and below is a 1947 Ben Buckle design long Cabin, powered with a K&B .65 engine. Flies nicely although did have a slight problem when the wind blew it over on landing and the wing broke in 2, since repaired. With a 16 ounce fuel tank and the capability of maintaining height on tick over, it has a duration of 75 minutes. |

Below it was a lot of fun flying the two aircraft in close formation, being surprisingly well matched considering the different engine and propellor sizes. |
