Status: offline 		I love looking at great warbirds, especially Ziroli's, Meister's, Bates', and stuff built from plans. Can we start a thread where each of us posts the best photo off each of their warbirds, along with a caption describing engine, retracts, weight, finnish, age, number of flights, and perhaps a link to a video? If you have a huge fleet, make two or three posts. If you are proud of your warbirds, and your fleet, let's see them! BTW...no point in posting praise for anyones awesome planes. I'm sure they will all be great. Perhaps this will make the thread full of terrific planes, post after post.
Thanks.
Andris.

But I am proud of my warbirds, even if they are modified ARF`s .

Since ARFs basically all look alike and require no skill to assemble, why not make this forum NO ARFs ALLOWED. Then it would be worth looking at. I'm not interesting looking at a bunch ARFs.

Status: offline 		Just a couple of the many planes that prevents me from parking a car in the garage. The jet is a 1/4.85 scale Hawk 100. It is 103" long and is powered by a Jet Central Mammoth turbine engine (48lbs thrust). Then there is my 1/4 scale Corsair that I built from Don Smith plans. The plane is 96 inches long and has a wing span of 122", and it stands on Sierra Precision landing gear. In the picture, there is a DA 150 attached to the firewall. This engine was installed for the maiden flight. The plane is now powered by a Moki 250 five cylinder radial engine swinging a 32x18 Beila prop. The Corsair flies extreme well at a weight of 55 lbs (with 70 oz of fuel). Currently working on completing a 1/4 scale P-47 Razorback which will have to share the engine with the Corsair, cause I'm broke.

Here a video link of the for the Corsair. Flight #5, using a 32x18 Biela composite prop/flight #6 second part of video, using the Bambula 32x14 wood prop

Because then we would have to visit every contributor's gallery to see all these pictures rather than being able to simply view them all here in a single source. If it bothers you then simply bypass this thread and move on to others that do interest you. And there's no need to yell by the way.

If you EVER get tired of flying your Corsair, I will be more than happy to take it off your hands.......... That has to be the most beautiful Warbird not painted in a typical warbird scheme and that's not to mention the aqwesome job you did painting it.

David

Why do you care, and in what way does it negatively impact you that you have to post a rant??.....

Status: offline 		No longer in my hangar thanks to a faulty RX switch but some pictures none the less. Top Flite P-40 (kit built), 64 inch span, probably around 11 pounds, and powered with an OS 1.08 two stroke. (Yes, it was ballistic!) A fantastic looking model in flight but one with a few odd characteristics and always a bit challenging on the ground. Nothing looks better on a low pass though! I will build a 1/5 scale P-40 of my own design eventually.
