Paulo Severin's Fokker EI with all steel tubing. A mere 5,000 Euros. And/or any of the Proctor kits.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEmgCKm0Fto Oh, oh, oh...and a GTM 1/3 scale DrI. Heck, why not all of them since I won the lottery!

(I assume I can use Santa's sleigh to transport them all.)

A 50% Christen Eagle from Germany and a large Van to get it to the field as I only have a small car now ( Kia Rio )

Well count me in.

I really don't have a favorite kit that I am wanting to build ...........

BUT - there are a ton of big planes that I would LOVE to fly.

LARGE BI-PLANES Sopwiths, Fokkers, Pitts, Jungmeister, Wacos

The list GOES ON ENDLESSLY!

This one or i could be persuaded into a 1/3 or even the 40% AMR kit. Note, they don't list the price any more... (it's too scary) http://www.amr-rc.com/products/aircr...-kits/waco-40/

A professionally Scratch built 1/3 scale F8F Bearcat with a custom set of scale articulating gear and a Moki 400 radial.

This would just be to add to my other two Moki powered warbirds as a fleet.

Would buy a Moki for my 1/3 Waco and then build a full scale bi-plane.

A huge shop ! Thats what I would buy !

Then I would outfit it with all the best shop tools, and give each of my building friends there own rolling 4 by 8 foot table.. so we could build into the night all winter long.. Bench flying and BSing ! This really is a dream of mine.. Oh yeah there might be a large wood routed digital slotcar track in there as well

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdWhJYgYXpI&list=UUIRRGYWkWdD0H48RUZMTglw Only one catch, no ca glue allowed ! damned allergies....

I don't build much from kits any more but I would love to do a Fischer 1/4 scale Wildcat. A CompARF P-47 or Corsair would be quite acceptable as well!

Call me if you hit the lottery Greg! I would love to build just about any of the Grumman 'cats to fit a Moki 400! The Bearcat would be awesome for sure.

Chad,

I already have a CompARF P-47, I'm still waiting for my Fischer Wildcat to be delivered, so I just figured I would throw the Bearcat into the mix as well... Lol!!!
