Question, how many here are involved with real airplanes?

S!

20cm is a lot, actually a crapload in terms of aircraft structure no matter how well it is built. Bücker Jungmann was the plane of the aces

Of course is a lot, in year 2000, the oldest series was being taken off the skies. The pilots are used to stress it to max g's (not that high for this plane, 7g) in everyday flight, so it shows. Still was diagonal (longitudinal and vertical less than 20) and each wing contributed half of it, but anyway, those planes were really twisted, being duraluminum, i truly believe stories of p-38 aces rendering new planes to bananas in a couple of flights.

Here are a few pictures of my 1941 PT-17 Stearman. I’ve been flying vintage aircraft since the early 1980’s; I’ll post some fun stuff this weekend.

That is one lovely Stearman you have there Tailspin
The guys that I fly with have a PT-13D with the R-985 and that's one helluva beefy plane
U have a R-985 too?

uuuh yes, there's nothing that shouts "vintage aviation!" better than the sound of the 985!

Awesome. Totally jealous here. Nothing like the wind whistling through the wires.
