RE: Transition to warbirds
You could do a TF gold edition war bird, but they are going to be a tad harder to fly than what you are used to. If you get help with it, you can pick it up. Make sure to build it light and straight. That makes a big differencce. The P-47 and P-51s will snap roll quick if you slow them down too much. Take them up high, practice stalls and how to recover and have help from someone that knows how to land them well and you will be fine.
