I have seen this question asked alot in the warbirds section and on rcwarbirds.com. They suggest two planes the P-47 or the p-39. The p-39 has tricycle landing gear and good flight characteristcs. They recommend the P-47 because of the airfoil and the wides stance of the landing gear. Just make sure you do install the flaps. Proabably the Top Flite kit in either model would be good kit to start with.
