atki, at a local carnival.can’t figure out whose though?and no,steelboyf10,it’s not one of joints

are you sure M8, looks like one to me, even with those “bobby hrse” white rims…as Ken with the wireless would say!..I agree with the comment about saving an FH, but they fetch strong money for export, I would think they will be like the F7 / FL10s…wendy houses, all gone when we want one…lets have some pics of project pete…

hi steelboyf10,
a couple of photos of project pete’s new rear wings.
