    Warbird looking homebuilt

    Anyone know of any kits or plans for a plane that would be about 3/4th the size of a Yak 52? I have a friend that is looking for a homebuilt, but he doesn't fit most of the homebuilts due to his height.

    Open cockpit takes care of that pesky height problem. After that, to get a warbird look, all you need is paint and imagination....

    You wrote "Warbird" without reference to which war!

    Too bad there are so many wars to choose from. Peace on earth. Remember the Reason for the Christmas season.

    The price is not too bad, either. But I have to agree with rwanttaja, a little creativity goes a long way on a Flybaby.

    You could always paint your RV up in Nigerian AF paint and it would be a replica of a real warbird.

    An' then you could claim to be the son of the former Defense Minister, who set aside $30M in Swiss account, and needed someone to help him access the money....
