Default RE: first war bird, how to decide?

Thanks Joe for taking the time to give a good through explanation, most of the stuff you went over I think I know but I might not know it as well as I think I do. I have flown a lot of simulators and a few very heavy planes so I have put a couple in the dirt by being caught off guard. I do have a very good understanding of flight and hope I am ready. I have gotten to the point that I always do my own maiden and have had good success so far.
The Stuka.... Does it typicaly fly straight forward? any nasty habits in the airframe it self? I do know how to avoid stalls and I was taught to land hot and always have so I'm not scared to fly one to the ground. any little thing you can think of I will gladly listen to.
I do want to build it from a kit and I don't let the possibility of needed repair worry me to much, I don't like it but I can handle it ok. I do a lot of repair work down to the LHS for club members and customers.

Tom I have been all over the skyshark stuka and the only reason I don't already have it is because I baught my WIFE a new truck a couple of weeks ago and am waiting for my wallet to grow up a little and while waiting I have told myself o go a little bigger but I might just dive in on it. Have you built it?

Thanks to all.......Still listening.

Miloh.
