The Thomas Morse MB-7 was a racer built for the US Navy to compete in the 1921 Pulitzer Race. The racer was a modification of the company's MB-3 pursuit biplane. This is my first big scale build. Do not do very tight maneuvers or the plane will break. Once again, this is my first Big Scale Build so please, tell me what you think
