Here’s the link to the Reno 2012 Races…..great article going over what the NTSB found out about the Galloping Ghost Race Crash……as well as other interesting info.

Here’s the story:
I was looking to get a smaller warbird that I can just put in the car and go…..no assembly. Trying to keep up with OB ( Brad and Chris ) on the weekends…..well I came across the FlightlineRC Hawker Sea Fury and for 2 bills ordered her up.
Started looking up the plane online and the first thing I saw was this!!
O.M.G. that is AWESOME!! Then Started watching some vids, and pretty much LOST MY MIND!
SO, I started my warbird Project turning my Sea Fury ( pretty much the UGLIEST plane I ever bought ) into a Reno Racer…….
While looking up this bird, I did come across some RC planes that had the same/similar graphics, but didn’t seem quite right, and they hadn’t been made in 4 or 5 years. So I’ll cut to the chase…..in order are the steps I took to paint this plane. Thank you to Bob Stinson for his input on paint as well as Michael at MotionRC.
3-4-5 are of the Real Reno Racer……..
The pics are step by step……so if you have any questions, feel free to stop by and ask at the field.
