It technically is not even a plane yet, but something like this sounds like a ton of fun in the sim!

A quick summary: Dracula is set to be an 80% scale version of the original WACO Mystery Ship that crashed last year but G rated to +15 -15 G's and with a 550hp engine.

I knew Kyle was rebuilding the Waco, but I did not realize he was doing this.

The WACO Mystery Ship rebuild seems to be a side project. He actually just posted some pictures of the Mystery Ship fuselage frame fresh out of rebuild and paint. It is just the tubing, but progress is progress.
