I might have a set of Plans that might tickle your fancy for a good challenge...

The plans are Nick Ziroli's F8F-Bearcat. Large Scale, 86" wingspan, you can check out the link to see what you might get yourself into...

This link will bring you to the Ziroli website to view what you could get into...It is a FANTASTIC plane, but I just have too many other projects on the go to get into this build. I have a couple of other links I have used to research this project if you are interested...
