How close to a Pitts is a Mong? Whatever happened to Pattiy Johnson and "Full Tilt Boogie"? (I'm slooooowly building an R/C model of FTB)
I don't know much about the history of the Mong.
It's faster, smaller, and lighter than the Pitts. But - it's not a good akro plane.
There aren't many of them flying these days.... We probably have two or three in the Bipe Class left.
I'd love to see pix of your FTB Model when you get a chance.
