Default RE: first war bird, how to decide?

There are not too many airplanes with fixed gear--or at least not in kit form. BTW, the Zero has retractable gear. You might want to look at the Skyshark kits. They have a 60" Stuka and a 63" Val kit availible. There is a thread in this forum for a build on the Val kit. I think it four pages long by now... It starts on page 2 in this forum (Warbirds). I remember reading a review on the engine you mentioned but I can't recall the power level. BOth of these kits would probably be good with a regular .90 4 stroke--I bet the 90sp would be great too. I have read very positive things about Skyshark's kits, just do a search on them too.

Hope this helps,
