Frank Harris did the building and cockpit work. This man is truly a master builder with attention to detail like you wouldn't believe. He builds many airplanes and cockpits for club members. Frank enjoys the work so what can I say.

I made the mistake of keeping track of the cost of everything when building this bird right down to the last item. Not including what I paid for labor the total was nearly $6,000.

This is a READY TO COVER top flite giant scale mustang. Fiberglassed and painted. It has the new DA85 gas engine with the SOLO variable pitch propeller system. KELEO scale exhaust system. Eleven JR 8711 servos. Two 4500 ma batteries. Sierra Giant scale retracts. Scale 5 inch aluminum wheels. 2 inch retractable tail wheel. 32 oz fuel tank. JR spectrum 9 channel receiver with two satellite antennas. JR 9303 spectrum 2.4 radio. Airplane weighs 32 lbs.

Flies real nice and sounds great in the air. I have around 20 flights on it now. My knees still get a little weak on the pilots stand. This is a lot of $$$ in the air for me. Each flight is getting a little less dramatic. Again I want to thank my BEST FRIEND, FRANK HARRIS for his patience with me when building. Great job.

Rich is still trying to get this engine in his plane

Pat Costley's Hanger 9 quarter scale cub. Engine is a Saito 220 four stroke. Flies great.

Pictures are of the Hanger Party at the Chino Airport as part of the evening festivities of the Southern California Scale Squadron event 6/6/08.

Some of the detail craftsmanship of club member Frank Harris. Looks real, huh!

More of Frank's handiwork.

And another shot.
