Peas Explained

Here's a shot of my fantasy racer, "Black Hole Peashooter", modeled in 1978 and inspired by E.P. Lunken's Miss Buttonpuss and E.D. Weiner's Race #14. Peashooter is a 1/24 scale Mustang (I forget which kit) with clipped wings, reversed canopy, wing fairings and an H-model tail. Just a touch of candy-apple red! FYI, Peas

PS EP Lunken's x was my first flight instructor. She's now the FSDO Safety Officer in SW Ohio. Then Don Fairbanks, formerly Sport Biplane Race #5 "White Knight", gave me my multi-engine check ride.
