Hi All, Currently Ihave electrics but want a noise maker to add to my collection. Ihave an Apprentice E, and a T-34 Mentor. Iwant to build a warbird, but dont know which one would make a good flier for an intermediate like me. It needs to be able to short take off, fly stable at slow speeds, while still be able to move. Ihave a ultra micro Corsair which flies pretty darn good, but dont thnk Iwant to tackle something as complex as a gull wing at this time. Not sure if a P51 would be a good choice, they are so common too. Ido have a planned B-26 Marauder in the works, but that is going to be a long build since it is scale. Since I already have a heavy metal trainer, something with guns is what Iam looking for.

60'' or so wingspan, kit form, where it can be built right out of the box with minimal extra parts needed outside the kit save for the radio and engine. Also under $150 if possible. Years ago I built a Carl Goldberg Cub, and want to build a kit like that, where just covering, radio and engine were needed to fly.
Kit or ARF? big difference
60" or so wingspan, kit form,


It is a winter project, a 2 hour ARF would not work.
