Default Full Scratch Build Large-Scale Warbird

Hello All,

After many years in the hobby, I am bored and looking for a challenge of a rather sadistic degree.

My plans are to do a large scale, multi-engined WWII millitary aircraft that is a scratch build-even the
retracts would be CADed and machined from scratch.

I would like to keep the twin scale above 110" and the 4 engine scale in the 12' range. I was looking at the
Don Smith B-17 and the Ziroli OR Yellow P-38 and was hoping to get specific feedback mainly in the realm of
the ease of of scratch build from the authored plans as well as documentation found on the internet. Other
items of interest are quality of design. Wing tube placement, landing gear hardpoints, balance issues, flight
performance anything that one can give.

Thanks and Happy Flying!
