I realize that Ill have to start learning to use the rudder more often and that's not a problem. I'm a fast learner with above average hand eye coordination with a transmitter from my 17 years of racing cars. But all that means nothing if I get into a bind, so I'm hoping for a plane that is somewhat forgiving like a 4*. But I already knew that I was asking alot and there is most likely no such plane made. And that's why I tossed this question out here. There's some really smart and experienced guys here on RCU and it's nice to have a forum like this to bounce ideas around.

Although I have been building kits for many years, I am still a rookie when it comes to flying. I have probably 300 flights altogether and that started with Pico Sticks to a LT40 kit that I has somebody take off and land for me some ten years ago, then a lengthy hiatus for the car thing and just in the last couple of years got more interested in building PLUS flying. In the beginning of my RC plane interest was all about building planes and I could care less about flying. I think I'm still more interested in building than flying but I have reached a point that Ill have to advance with my flying skills if I want to advance my building skills especially when it comes to scale and warbirds.

After listening to you guys here is my plan. I think Ken is right about the BTE Venture. I had a 4*60 that could of been my first plane and I thought it flew easier than my LT40 did. I wish I wouldn't of sold it. But this today and what I'm planning is multi faceted and sort of confusing even to me. lol I have short and long term goals and hopefully I'm approaching this right.

First, finish the re-build of my LT-25 and fly the SNOT out of it!

Second, finish my BUSA Eindecker 90 build and set it aside. I have WAY too many hours and care into it just to take it out and dumb thumb it into the ground.

Kitbash a BTE Venture into some sort of warbird looking plane and I'm thinking olive drab Solartex covering with either British markings or Japanese like a Zero.

All the while, have a long term goal of building a very sweet plane that I can put on and take off the building board starting a year from now or so.
