The DB 60 shown has a trike setup, thats why I was asking if it can be a tail bird, and such that is is. I just may get both. After flying the 4*120, I'm really wanting a snappy plane. It's good, but not GREAT when it comes to axial rolls and othermaneuvers. Getting the bug man,gettingthe BUG! The warbirds may feel lame compared to these planes.

The DB is not intended for a tail wheel. In fact it would be hard to do because the rudder extends below the fuse. The Killer Chaos is intended for a tailwheel and the tail and rudder is built to allow a tailwheel. The Utter Chaos is the trike version and the rudder is in the way for mounting a tail wheel.
