Anyone else picked up Melvin Schupes AC500U???

Its a little jewel - flies and looks the business - and yes you can fly
Bob Hoovers routine in it - just keep your airspeed up

Oh sorry - its at the usual suspects -

Enjoy

This one Leif? Had it a while now, used to attempt to fly it on a 32Mb graphics card, sigh, nostalgia ain't what it used to be.

I can see my new house from here

Regards

Sean

Sean - Nope not THAT AC500 this is an original U - (see the two shots in the gallery of it) And your correct I watched Hoover do his deadstick routine for the first time in 1970 at Alton Illnois.

Tonks - In many many ways he was far superior a pilot and gentlemen to
the man who he flew chase for.

I've heard much the same thing from people who've met them both too, Leif...

Leif,

The filename refers to it as an AC520 - Sean was probably thinking of the AC500 and AC680 that appeared a couple of years ago by Milton Shupe.
