Here are two P-40's filmed in 2011. Rich Eggleston and Chuck Hamilton. These two are made from enlarged Bates plans.

RE: P-40 Brotherhood (All P-40's Welcome)
I agree with lifer. I fly my VQ P-40 in a smooth, scale like manner. A low pass over the runway followed by a slow victory roll can bring out the cheers from the peanut gallery!!! Follow that up with a greaser wheel landing with the flaps down and you know that it has been a great day at the field as you taxi back to the pits.

RE: P-40 Brotherhood (All P-40's Welcome)
Nothing like seeing a scale Warbird flown prototypical; that is why I try to make every attempt to do the same. It is nice to see a solid high speed low past, but the reality is wiped away when it is followed by an unrealistic abrupt pull or bank that would have damaged or broken the structure of the full scale counterpart. All full scales have a max cruse and a max maneuvering speed. This maneuvering speed is the reason for slowing down to dog fight.

Hey guys I have a few questions. I am currently looking into a top flite p-40 60 arf, and I'm curious could you add mechanical retracts? Or do you have to put the air retracts in? Any info would be appreciated!

RETRACTS
The choice whether or not to use fixed gear or
retracts is up to you. Retracts offer good looks and
great flight realism with the added expense and
complication. The model is designed to use the
Robart #615 (ROBQ1815) rotating retracts, as
these offer the easiest installation and most
reliable operation. More information on retracts is
found in the “Tips for Competition Minded
Modelers” section and in the construction
sequence. For item numbers, see "Other Items
Required", page 7.
I have had issues with some of the mech retracts, so I would go with the Robart or Sierra retracts. However I did try to find information on the listed TOPA retract option from the TF add on this plane and could not find anything.
http://www.sierragiant.com/prod30.html
http://www.robart.com/air-models/p-40-warhawk-60
Either require air, but I think you would be happier in the long run.
