Status: offline 		May be a little late for this but I just came across this thread. Me Personally love the Corsairs. THey are with out doubt my favorite warbird. I would love to see Hangar 9 come out with a 80+ inch Corsair with the same style retracts that are in the GS P-47. Just an Idea hope to see one one of these days.

Status: offline 		I would love to see a 50cc Corsair ARF done right, with flaps and retracts. I was hoping that Topflite would make one after their Mustang ARF came out, but it doesn't look like Topflite wants to service this part of the market. That leaves the door wide open for Hanger 9, and your high quality ARFs.

Status: offline 		Alrighty then! Since this thread died, Horizon has introduced quite a few new warbirds--Hellcat, Camel, another T-34, and Spitfire, plus the great looking 150 P-51, not to mention the two P-47s that were released early this year.

Thanks Horizon! I have bought the T-34, will soon buy the Spit, and eventually the Camel.

I anxiously cling to hope amid rumours of an Axis bird of some type on the horizon (pun intended).

Status: offline 		As many people, I've enjoyed the Hangar9 planes. Their quality and ease of build is amazing. At my field, however, flying anything bigger than a .40 is hard (pretty small). I think that a 40-sized Supermarine Spitfire, with scale retracts and split flaps would take my first choice. I'd get one the day they came out! I know that the scale retracts on such a small plane make handling harder...but the looks make it worth it. The Spitfire is the most gorgeous and beautiful Warbird out there, and there aren't any good 40-size ARF's.

Status: offline 		OK, the G55 was a late WW2 bomber interceptor equipped with german DB605 engine; the G59 was a post war advanced trainer built using the same airframe, coupled with a RR merlin engine. Both excellent planes, I'm about to start building one .60 size from scratch using plans available in Italy. If you want to know something more about Italian warbirds, read the thread on the MC 200 Saetta, I posted some links.
Cheers
