Right Flyer, thats why I suggested the D/C Fury at the link above,....as your first scale attempt,.... ........... it appears that this warbird is light enough to do some mods to create a very scale warbird. (it already accepts flaps and retracts......)

I recently saw a totally scales out .60TF Corsair (glassed..awesome paint...the works) weight around 14 lbs with a .91......first flight it snapped hard from 200 feet....went in like a sack of rocks....:{

Good luck on you project,
Matt
