Hey guys, I've been looking all over for a nice 40 sized warbird other than the P-51. I have everything needed from a crash and want a hellcat or thunderbolt. I found a spit over at tower with retracts, but cannot find any reviews. Any ideas for me? I'm a warbird fanatic and if I had more to spend I would get the H9 F6F 60! Anyway I'm dreamin and will probably go with Phoenix Models spit!

Tower has a 40 sized Corsair. I had one on electric power and it was a good flyer after I moved the axles forward to stop nose-overs.

The kawasaki hein from kyosho? I just can't bring myself to fly axis controlled aircraft. I can justify British aircraft like the spit because we were allies. My WWII vet grandpa would be rolling over in his grave if he saw me flying a hein, zero or me109. Pretty planes, but it a moral dillema. I'm halfway joking, but honestly, I liked that spit from kyosho, but long for a 40 size hellcat or bearcat! Thanks for the links too!

Do you think I could put a pitts muffler on my OS 46 LA to use on the Kyosho Spit?

I don't want that obtrusive muffler hanging out the side, I want it to look more scale.

If you are looking for a kit to build, take a look at this: http://cgi.ebay.com/54-Jemco-Corsair-complete-kit_W0QQitemZ250246059982QQihZ015QQcategoryZ19164QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

It's not a P-47, but Jemco did make some excellent flying warbirds in this size. I flew their Hellcat back in the early 80's. I loved the way it flew.

You could get a VQ Macchi - flew as both allied and axis forces (later in the war) that way you could still fly something other than the P-51. I love the way mine flies!

VQ makes several .46 sized warbirds. I have the Zero and it flies great!

I agree,
I have two Jemco warbirds I fly still today, one a P 47 and the other a Hellcat and both are excellent planes to build and fly. As with that Corsair on EBay, nice plane but a new canopy will have to be made and I also had one of them a couple of years ago and it flew nice. Just don't put it in a snap roll or say "good bye plane".

Hyperion makes a great Ki84 (Frank) that is setup for electric, but is an easy change to go gas. It has a glass fuze and looks great.
