Certainly nothing against Mr Moore, as his work more than speaks for itself, he has quite a magical little shop, and has produced some amazing aircraft.
But, saying that, no one holds a right to a project just because he has stated an interest in building it, and while this intent has been shown by Mr Moore in the past, I am not sure it has progressed beyond a desktop model :)
but I would imagine they have already been in contact with each other anyway, it is such a small area of interest.
I think, though, looking at the pictures it is not such a great aircraft, the engine is such a massive part of it, minimal wing area, and tiny tail, rear fuse, so while the Gee Bee proved that this config can work quite well, many other racers were dismal failures, and this just may be another.
Hey, I agree about the Hornets!!
and why do we never seem to hear more on Glynn Powells amazing attempt to rebuild/recreate Mosquitoes?
anyone know what stage that is at, pictures?
