Status: offline 		Hey guys, I have a Zenoah G-23 sitting on the shelf needing a bird, preferably a war bird. Gonna send it to Ralph to get it customized.
Also it needs to be an ARF, I just don't have time to build right now.

Status: offline 		you might also look at the cmp hellcat, I have one with a toro 25 cc, using flywheel and magneto..flies great at 10.5 pounds....there is a HUGE thread on the hellcat in the warbird area here , unlimited info..that cmp corsair looks fun posted above as well...I am pretty sure the cmp fw 190 would fly well also....

Status: offline 		I have just finished my CMP Zero 120 with a G23. Swinging a MA 16X6 up to 8200, the flight is spectacular - smooth, fast or slow. I also used a GP soft mount. The weight of the G23 and the soft mount balanced my Zero at the rearmost point. I can't imagine why anyone would want a lighter engine in a warbird.

I also bought a CMP Hellcat but ended up selling it NIB. Compared to the Zero, the Hellcat is substandard in quality AND design. Don't know how that happened - different designers maybe?

This is my very first warbird. The experience is so positive that it makes me forward to buying my next one. At present, I am waiting for the KMP Bearcat to come out in August. Come on Christmas!

Status: offline 		Richard it's funny you mention the KMP Stuka, I have been salivating over that one for a while. A real nice large warbird without retracts. Thanks

Status: offline 		Yep the Stuka is a much better plane. Just don`t get the L19 Bird Dog. Its NOT a Sunday flyer. May look like it but its not. The Take off on the L19s are not easy and flying around you bet not fall asleep for a sec . Especially the vailly Bird Dog.
