  • Race 57 Corsair ??

    Anyone know where she is, or her status? Last I heard she was at Sanders at Eagle Nest. Just curious, thanks

          Nope. The crash was F2G Race 74... often confused

                As of the May update on the Sanders site, it is visible on the background of the photos with the engine off and on the ground.

                  Yep that's where I got my info, I can imagine it hasn't changed since then..?

                    I thought I read somewhere that it was being restored so it could be sold with the rest of Ron Pratte collection.
                    So in other words I agree; I can't imagine that it's not still at the Sanders shop.

                      Restored after it was restored by Bob in what 1999? That seems a bit odd!

                        Bob Odegaard was the pilot/restorer and did not own it. Owner was Tom Ungurean .

                          I knew restored was the wrong word, maybe "long term maintenance work"?

                            Race 57 was flown on 8/27/2015 for the first time in over 2 years. She looks beautiful! Dennis Sanders asked the owner if they could take her to Reno.

                              That would be a whole new level of awesomeness. Even if she's just sitting on the ground its a sight to behold.
