Здравствуйте, вы наверняка знаете о спецоперации. Всем сильно надоела политота, но все равно большую часть россиян интересует ужасная новость- все крупные иностранные компании закрываются нашего государства, как по мне, то это задевает каждого россиянина. Меня волнует, есть ли российская альтернатива. Хочу иметь уверенность в нашей крупно населенной стране есть хорошие решения. А еще Zoom - отзыв лицензий на разработку ПО нашей большой страны это уже перебор. Ладно когда простой народ не трогали, а сегодня мой друг рассказал что у него списали деньги, с банка украли что-то в районе 8364 руб это был Тинькофф Банк. Не уверен что правда, но надо проверить кто может проверить? Как думаете снимать деньги?

It is a pity, that now I can not express - I hurry up on job. I will be released - I will necessarily express the opinion on this question.

Построить дом можно и своими руками. Но, сказать по правде - это не будет очень быстро, тем более, если у вас нет достаточного опыта. Ввиду отсутствия опыта дом будет строится медленно и возможно допущение определенных ошибок. Лучше доверить строительство профессионалам.

A "Pea Shooter" was recently added to the Seattle Museum of Flights Great Gallery.

Fabulous web-site!

Believe the head rest was reinforcd and heightend to protect pilots. This plus flaps made landings much safer


Marty Wise, e-mail, 17.07.2011 16:54

Reason for the Peashooter tag ?
Due to 7.62mm / 12.7mm armament
A great fighter, now have !:48 scale model of the Bolling
D.C aircraft.

To Earl Metzel, I say that one of these was donated to the Air Museum in Washington DC; and hangs from the ceiling there, in US markings

We went to the Cleveland Air Show when I was about 6 or 7(1936?) and I saw some lined up and never forgot them.

I wish to thank Jerry Orr for all the help he has given me. I am building a 1/3 scale p26 and I what it to be the best scale plane out here from the automotive dash light to the goodyear stream line tires. with the help from jerry and others I thank you. Chuck

I remember an air show at Bishop airport in Flint MI. in 1933. There were six there from Selfridge Airbase in Mt. Clemens MI. near Detroit. They had trouble starting one of the planes, had to wind a very long rope with a sock over the prop to start it. They normally had a large shot gun like shell fired to turn the engine over and mag start.

The P-26 Peashooter is one of the first monoplanes in the world. Lightweight and easy to fly, it remained in service for many years until the United States entered the war.


JERRY ORR, e-mail, 18.05.2010 21:27

version that does have later added flaps and tail wheal. We have been at it for over 10 years. We are building it to Boeing plans just like the did in the early 1930s. Boeing sold them to the Army for $9999. Come down to the basement and see how much we have done.


JERRY ORR, e-mail, 18.05.2010 21:20

There are only two original P-26s left in the world. One is in the Smithsonian and one in Chino California at the Planes of Fame museum. THEY FLY THEIRS IN THEIR AIRSHOWS. It sounds like it is tearing the air apart with short stacks and a very long propeller for that engine. I am building one at the San Diego Air and Space Museum. We are building an early

I was a Major Engineer w/Boeing in Seattle during WWII and looking thru the photo books on the P-26 I seem to remember seeing photo's of two (2) 50 cal. forward firing machineguns.

The P-26 that the Military Aviation Museum in Virginia Beach, Va.(militaryaviationmuseum.org) has is a replica built by volunteers at Nate Mayo's "Mayocraft". I understand it had about 20hrs. on it before the museum bought it last summer, and is said to fly very well. You can "Yahoo" Mayocraft and watch several You Tube Mayocraft P-26 videos covering construction start to flights.

The Military Aviation Museum here in Virginia Beach VA recently acquired a Peashooter in restored condition - it really flys - the aviator has to be pretty skinny to fit inside the cockpit. A beautiful classic aircraft.


Bill Braden, e-mail, 14.07.2008 06:18

These may have been the first fighters with fuel injection, made by ExCello.


Brian Dawson, e-mail, 08.04.2008 17:51

Bar none, the most awesome looking airplane ever built. Art deco meets aerobatic blood. The example at Wright Pat is phenominal. From pure performance stats, it is certainly lagging the big muscle of later generation fighters, but I'd rather watch one perform at an airshow than an F15. I wish somebody would build a replica to fly on the circut.


Aero-Fox, 13.03.2008 01:55

The P-26 is possibly my favorite fighter aircraft ever. Heck, it was in service for over two decades, they have those classic fixed landing gear, and are small, light an maneuverable. Can't beat a classic...


Augusto de Leon Fajardo, 20.06.2007 06:41

I remember the ones left by the US army to the Guatemalan Air Force (sold for $1 each as PT-26; that is, trainers, to allay political misgivings. They were very maneuvrable, and were named "mosquitos" locally, because the peculiar sound made by their motors. They were still in service by 1954, twenty one years after entering service in the US...
