Built by Frank Harris and flown by Kyle Goodwine, this 93 inch span Navy fighter is powered by a Moki 150cc radial engine turning a Solo 3-blade propeller.
Kyle placed 3rd in the Unlimited Class at Top Gun. It also has a scale pilot figure of Pappy Boyington in the cockpit. The pilot is from Best Pilots and is a custom made figure modeled by Lyle Vasser. The plane is 1/5-scale and is a Jerry Bates design and uses Robart retracts.

Incredible, where is Butch O’Hare?
This plane was built by Frank Harris. Kyle Goodwine was the pilot.
Thanks for the correction Kyle!
I love those Grumman aircraft and this is a beautiful example of one. Hats off to you Mr. Harris!
