OK, a little obscure "Decebal" was a Dacian (pre-Romania), king. (Workable)
"Heros" was the god of the underworld..

Sorry, I've been waiting for someone to cross the line but guess it has to be me. How about YAK N OFF ?
I'm sure you'll sell lots of T-shirts, Caps and Bumper Stickers. No worse than Lickety Split.

Ahhh, Tin Man
I knew if I set it on the edge, someone would push it over...
I still like "more cowbell", too bad few would get it.
Yak Attack souned like it ad possibilites.

From Romania

like most of the "Rom"

How about the name GYPSY


or.......... GYPSY LADY
The second would lend itself to a Hendrix inspired paint theme.

Good luck with the project.

I agree to this, better than my Gypsy General ( Gipsy Major ).

This or then totally something new like Conquest III or Confutse..or Speedball or something....like Red's Delite !

Re: A NEW UNLIMITED RENO AIR RACE TEAM IS BEING CONSTRUCTED!

New schemes from gary.
Will W.

Love the huge spinner, hate the canopy, Paint schemes not bad.

Have you considered asking Mirco to design a paint scheme?

How about Yakovlevs Knight or Yakovlevs Warrior?

Re: A NEW UNLIMITED RENO AIR RACE TEAM IS BEING CONSTRUCTED!

I would SO MUCH like to see an F-1 type canopy put on that bird. Kind of a bubble like what the original Signal Sea Fury/Miss Merced had. If you're gonna go 'racy', go all the way.

Actually the original highly raked flat paned windscreen and bubble of Blind Mans Bluff/early Critical Mass would be the most streamlined and slick(without the little bump at the back,that is). Nicest of any I've seen at Reno in 19 years.

Hey Red and Whiteside !

I took the liberty to draw some of the mods that came up here and played around with the image. I did come out with this:

" RED'N WHITE "

The colour scheme by me sucks, but hey this is a name competition right ?

[Whiteside]

Re: A NEW UNLIMITED RENO AIR RACE TEAM IS BEING CONSTRUCTED!

Yeah, names and schemes. We'd actually like to see your ideas for the schemes as much as for names. To this guy,
