It is apparently not the Lambert radial engined Piet that flew for some years since the plane in the YouTube video obviously has a flat engine in it.

I bought my T-88 over ten years ago and it continues to produce fine results for me. The clear component does tend to crystallize in cold weather but returns to liquid state when warmed. The easiest way to warm it is to put it in the microwave oven for 10-15 seconds. If overwarmed, it gets so thin that it's hard to measure so don't overdo it with the heat.

I thought it was a Junior Ace, but Gene Rambo remembers it being a hodge-podge of Aeronca parts. Either way, it's a neat little plane. Here's some info on the guy who flies it now, according to the Flying Circus website: http://www.flyingcircusairshow.com/stars/Kevin_Pierce.html Here's a pic of what looks like the same plane, but with different landing gear and paint: http://www.flyingcircusairshow.com/photo-04/fokker-lg.jpg I still remember reading a web site that talked about buying that plane, flying it to the midwest somewhere, restoring it, and then flying it back to VA. I can't find the URL, though. Maybe Gene has some more info into the history of this bird. -Wayne Oscar Zuniga wrote: > > > Here is the video of the Flying Farmer show: > > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2BPcurREpo > > Towards the end at about 1:35 you can see what > I think is "der Faker Fokker" taxiing out.
