  • Biplane pics?

    This was only the 3rd time I've missed Reno in 25 years, (I'm only 32!) anyway, are there any pics of Tommy Rose's plane with the new wings or the wild looking one (don't know the name of pilot) who kept breaking props?
    I love the cutting edge stuff no matter what class, it really hurt to miss this year, especially with the record laps and all. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks

    Red,

    I managed a few sessions out there with the biplanes and probably have something. What I have not had is time to get to my images yet, for the most part anyway..

    As soon as Nellis is over, I'll have some more time to get in there and do some gallerys...

            WOW!

            And I thought that the Amsoil Special was a nice looking AC.

                Red,
                David Rose flies the Mong formerly known as Rags. Now called Frightful, it is the one with the long, high aspect ratio wings.

                The late Tommy Rose is our dear departed friend from the Sport Class that was killed last year.

                Tom Aberle is responsible for the new Biplane named Phantom. A very cool and innovative design that also reminded me of the old Racing Biplane designs of the past.

                    Wayne,

                    If you have more shots of #3 (that's a MONG?) I would like to buy some prints.

                    Side view, ground view, quarter-front and quarter-rear shots.

                    Thanks!

                      Believe it or not, Phantom is a Mong as well.

                          The steel tube evidently. And the data plate.

                            I'm looking for color photos of Dave Forbes Cobra 22. I've located it in the Arkansas Air Museum, but they haven't replied. Of course, I'm willing to pay if necessary. I'm building a scale R/c model just 'cause it's so different.

                              Am I losing my mind? I believe that tragic loss happened in '02 didn't it?
