Status: offline 		There isnt any way I can top Tony's post, but I'll post something. I have two warbirds, and I can't really say which is my favorite. I fly my PT-19(Dynaflite) more than my Cub(Hangar 9 80 inch) but the Cub was my first Warbird. I've done more to the PT-19 because I bought it crashed, fixed it, and put in a scale front cockpit. I'm working on the back one. My Cub was my first plane that EVERYTHING was brand new on. It is hanging up in my room over my bed. My PT-19 has gotten me some applause after a good flight though so I like them both about the same.

Mine gets tossed around some in the wind, but not enough to really get bad. I'd guess mine weighs about 12-14 pounds. I weighed the fuse at 9 pounds without fuel and before the scale cockpit. I'm just guessing how much the wing and cockpit weigh.

Status: offline 		Thanks for the compliment. The P-40 is truly awesome in the air, and though it can do things like knife edge flight, I prefer to fly it in a more realistic manner. I usually do simple aerobaticsàloops and very slow rolls, maybe a Cuban eight. I like diving passes along the runway ending in a victory roll. It has no bad flight characteristics (thanks Nick Ziroli). When the first model crashed I retrieved one landing flap, an engine, the retracts and radio equipment. ThatÆs what I had to start the second model. I built it a lot faster since I didnÆt have to figure out the modifications. No, it was not built for competition. I stopped short of rivet detail, but do have all the panel lines. :-)

Status: offline 		I've loved the Curtiss P-40 since I was a kid (a long time ago). I have built two Ziroli P-40s, both great flyers. They were/are powered by a 4.2 c.i. Sachs engine and have flaps. detailed cockpit and retracts (including tail wheel). The first crashed several years ago, but the second is still flying. Picture attached.
