Default RE: LOOKING FOR MY FIRST WAR BIRD

Gus, I bow to you and appologize to all who I have offended,. Cappio777 I am truly sorry about the comment. In retrospect....it was pretty funny. So that said, I wish you all a very happy holiday season and a great New Year. Crashing Blubberguts lmao ...just might change the handle.

thanks for nothing CRAPPIO777
Well, I will rise to the bait.... Crashing BlubberGuts....

Firstly, realise a few things: jest is jest, so lets not call people names (except me, because I am allowed to call people names ... because you called people names ... ;-)
Secondly, WRITING IN ALL CAPITAL LETTERS IS CONSIDERED TO BE SHOUTING, and is RUDE (So is correcting my spelling, and no, I have never been able to spell considdered. Sometimes I use one, and other times I use two d's - go figure)
Thridly, I found Cappio777's response to be really funny, so it might not have done much fo you, but I would like to give a big thanks to Cappio777 for giving me a light moment today.... Thank's Cappio777!
Fourthly... Apart from "real" full-scale planes, there is no such thing as a "Scale" plane of any sort. It might be proportional in length/width, but it is VERY different in weight, volume, power. If you want a "Scale" 60 size plane you should at least install a 40 size engine ... and somehow change the atomic structure while you are at it.
Fifthly. As far as I know, then more scale a plane is, the less forgiving it is, so that your desire for something SCALE AND FORGIVING is oxy-moronic.
Finally, there is actually a LOT of merit in Cappio777's original response. Although most people consider warbirds to be purpose built fighter planes, many of them are nothing more than a camouflage painted civilian plane with a gun on it and military markings ..... Bell, Cessna, Boeing, etc. All a part of the trend.

So, instead of getting all stuck up about it, relax, have a laugh, and understand that your ability to enjoy this hobby (and the internet) is inversely proportional to the thickness of your skin.

Also, while I am gently trying to hint to you that you are wound up too tight, let me ask you why it is that you have the cart in front of the horse.... Every "warbird" built was an airframe, which had an engine chosen to power it, and then a control system to mate the three together... in that order. Various tweeks were made along the way, but it is inevitable that you have airframe, then engine, then control system. You, on the other hand, have the control system, and engine, and are now looking for an airframe to fly. How did you get to be so lucky...?

So, get yourself a 6 channel radio (5th channel for gear, and 6th for flaps), and a .60 size four stroke, and a .4 size kit. Will be right up your alley, and then mail the .91 surpass, and 9CAP to me ... ;-) Let me take on the challenge of figuring out what to do with them.

Finally (and I mean it this time), I am really looking forward to the spitfire in my workshop that is going to be my third plane. A nice scale and forgiving .40 size kit from Great Planes. So, if you cut through the humour(and crap) that is RCU, you will find that there is something out there that will fit the bill.

Thanks in advance
