A video is on YouTube. On a second pass for the camara it crashed. Click to expand... From IMDb: The Tallmantz Phoenix P-1 was designed by Otto Timm and built by Tallmantz Aviation Inc. for the film. It had the following characteristics: Length: 45' Wingspan: 42' Engine: a like-new Pratt & Whitney R-1340 nine cylinder radial engine of 650 hp, taken from a T-6, as were the wheels and various other parts. Wings: wing panels taken from a T-11 (civilian conversion of an AT-11 which is a Beechcraft 18 type ) The apparent wing, tail, and undercarriage wire bracing was made out of clothesline, and was intentionally made to look flimsy. The fuselage and empennage were all hand-built from scratch - plywood over a wood frame. The cockpit was shallow and makeshift. The pilot sat down. Another person stood behind the pilot and was strapped to a stringer. Dummies on the wings were found to blank the control surfaces, so silhouettes of the wing-passengers were used instead.
