RE: first war bird, how to decide?
Peter:
I've been flying tail draggers a long time, Started with an Avistar, then an UltraStick, Then a GP extra 300 rebuilt at least 5 times it must have weighed 11 pounds and around 40oz per Sq inch on the wing when I got it. I've got a VF Extra 300 now. I think I'm ok on the air frame but I know I'm ok with the little dragging wheel on the back. The kit I'm looking at has flown at 28 pounds but mine should come out around 19 to 21 pounds depending on the amount if weight needed to balance.
Thanks Peter.
