I didn't see when this listing was posted.... but it is or was for sale.
Specs say MAX SPEED 300 mph. By todays Sport Class speeds, it would not be very competative.
But it has a tailwheel... In all seriousness the coolers look dragy, but the Vne is probably not as high as the Thunder Mustang anyway. Could you fit a Falconer under the hood?
I still hope someone buys it and brings it, even if it is just running around at the back of the pack.
I was just at Vern's hangar. Says he has someone interested in checking it out. The workmanship on it is fantastic- formed aluminum wingtips, etc. Never seen it fly, but watched him taxi it a couple months ago, and it sounds GOOOOD!
I just joined this forum. Will enjoy following some of these threads.
The TALON is for sale and needs a new home. Someone here asked about the VNE. I just arbitrarily
set it at 300 mph. It could be higher but was never tested for anything faster. I have never opened it up to
see just how fast it would go. It has seen 256 on a high speed pass. It underwent a flutter analysis during
its development and I have all that paperwork for that.
I expect more questions in the future and will be glad to answer them.
BTW, who is 1:1 scale?

Welcome to AAFO, Talon. Look forward to your posts and comments. Hope all is well in your neck of the woods with you and your family.
BTW, have you tried to send a Private Message to 1:1 Scale to find out? You can also view the profile by clicking on the screen name, however, you may not be able to see real names.
Thanks. Yes I sent him a PM. I am sure it is someone I know.. Whenever I open the hangar door, I will get at least 1 visitor. While building Bob DeFord’s full-scale replica Spitfire, people would come out of the woodwork to stop by and check it out. That project took over 8 years. Just gotta love the aviation community!
