William Bruce "Bill" Overstreet Jr. (April 10, 1921 - December 29, 2013) was an American fighter pilot and a veteran of the 357th Fighter Group, 363rd Fighter Squadron of the United States Army Air Forces during World War II. He is best known for his solo pursuit of a German Messerschmitt Bf 109G underneath the arches of the Eiffel Tower in 1944

In the spring of 1944, Bill Overstreet and his P-51B Mustang, the "Berlin Express", were near Paris when the action started, immortalized in the artwork by Len Krenzler. Overstreet had followed a Bf109 from the enemy fighter sortie that had attacked the US bomber group he was escorting. After most of the German fighters had broken off the attack, Overstreet and the German had begun a running dogfight, but as they neared Paris the Bf109 pilot had Overstreet on his tail. With the German pilot's desperation undoubtedly growing, he aimed his plane at the Eiffel Tower and in a surprising maneuver, flew beneath it. Undeterred, Overstreet followed right behind him scoring several hits which caused the Bf 109G to crash.

The P-51 Mustang is one of the most iconic US fighters of World War II. The P-51B was an early P-51 Model and could be known as a P-51B or P-51C depending on where the plane was assembled. If you own a P-51D Mustang then add its forerunner to your squadron today! The distinct canopy and razorback will turn heads wherever you fly!

Avios (PNF) Grand Tundra Plus Sports Model Green/Gold EPO 1700mm (67") at HobbyKing

The Tundra has had a massive cult following over the years within the RC community as it's easily one of the best flying electric RC planes on the market with an impressive flight envelope. This was followed sometime later with the launch of the Grand Tundra which encompassed all your favorite features but on a larger scale. The Grand Tundra Plus keeps 99% of the features of the original version, the one change that has been made is to the wing servo connectors, these have a new design to give a stronger and more reliable connection.

With the Grand Tundra Plus, you can still enjoy short take-offs and landings with the huge 90-degree flaps, wing vortex generators, large tundra wheels, optional floats, navigation lights, and much more. The Grand Tundra Plus happily flies on a 4S LiPo battery, but on 6S you'll realize there is another side to the Grand Tundra Plus. If you have never tried skis or floats, then this RC floatplane is for you, as there is nothing quite like landing or taking off on the water.

Please note: The Floats and Skis are optional extras, please see related products.

The Grand Tundra Plus is an impressive foam RC aircraft with a huge presence in the air. The slight dihedral and wide flight envelope make for a very forgiving aircraft that could even be used as a trainer RC plane. From slow flight to fast aerobatics, this PNF model does it all with such finesse. Features include metal gear servos, ball-linked control rods, glider tow point, and navigational lights.

Adventure and great flying await with the Avios Grand Tundra Plus.
