Another shot of Gerry's newest work of art. It sounds like the test flights are going well.
Way to go TriState!

Freakin "A" model is right, that's sweeeet! Hopefully Gerry made 6 dozen of everything so we see more of these in the air real soon.

Maybe someone already beat me to the question, but where
do we send our deposits for the "Quick-Build" kit? :D

Sorry Bela, I'm told there will be no quick builds with this beast...it's simply too involved for even the most advanced home builder to tackle. After watching the last of it go together for the last 2 plus years I would concur! Restoration shops with the needed jigs, fixtures and trained people might be a different story. I suspect if your checkbook had a seven figure might behind it you could get on the waiting list that's already forming!

She's a dart. Gerry was screwing around with Oder on his wing and they compared power settings: A model: 2000 and 30, the D model: 2450 and 38!!!!!! Sip verses GULP! Nothing like good clean fun!

I love it!!! :D

Please post/e-mail whatever more pictures about this great bird. Links etc... all is welcome.

Well, I was only kidding (mostly!) about the quick-build kit.... :lol:

The only 7+ figure number in my check book is the account number!

Sounds like she's a real scooter. Can't wait to see what Gerry has
in mind for a paint scheme....

When Dick Phillips arranged for a visit to Wahpeton in 2003, we saw several fuselages on a jig, and according to one of the guys at Tri-State, they could actually build any model of the Mustang, from the basic fuselage configuration.

These are a couple of shots from that visit:
