It flew. Was supposed to be a high speed taxi test but ended up flying for about five minutes. They seem happy with what they saw and had no major issues.Comment

It sounds like the Howard Hughes high speed taxi test in the "Spruce Goose". Glad all ended OK. What a treat if it showed up in Reno this year.Lockheed BobComment

Congrats to all involved.
What a project.
Dave Cornell had bid on building brand new props for these P-82 projects.
I am currently building an r/c one out of two giant Top Flight P-51's, it has a 117" wingspan. I was inspired by Tom's project this summer to do it.Comment

All I can say is wow.
Watching the take off and landing, was like watching a synchronized warbird dance.
Can't wait to see more of her flights.
Come-on September, need my warbird fix!
