Those are all shots of either T-2 or T-3 taken in 1994. The Bud expert, Hgatjens would know for sure

Mike,check with Phil Thomas.I believe he has photos taken when the T-5 ran in Evansville in 2000,and has the movable front canard.

Here is one i found of the 1998, there is some of the t-5 on chris denslow site under 2000. it still has the block letters, it may be the t-6 idk. it has some shots of the back. Interesting it has the tiplets on this pic but any other one i dont see them on it, did they run the T-5 with tiplets for a while till they took them off.

Here is one from the Oberto, very similar to the Bud T-5 shown in the picture posted by Blue Blasters

Here is a link to the Chris Denslow site. The picts are from 2000 but the Buds still have the block letters.

Mike,I cross referenced the paint to Dupont from the paint shown on roger Newton's drawing.

The paint is Dupont Chromabase #M2328K.The Dupont chart calls it"HYDROPLANE INC,RED.

This is the paint I used on my T-5.My boat was a slightly different color than Rayan Hobby's.The older Buds like my 68 U-12 had slightly darker color.
