Whassup with the P-51 wing from Cavanaugh?

EDIT address error



The wings are painted and the cardboard is to protect the surface of the fusleage. It will be a show stopper at Oshkosh.. :wink:

Considering their track record, I would say its definitly probable. CFM gets out with their aircraft. I mean they did bring the P-40 all the way to Geneseo a couple years ago.
