I am building a TF Spit. To prepare, I started with a Tower .40 trainer and have progressed on to a 4 star .40.

I chose the 4 star 40 kit for three reasons.

First, I have read a lot of positive comments on it being a good 2nd plane that is a low wing tail dragger, but still has good low speed handling.

Second, it will allow me to recycle my OS .46 that I put in my trainer. I have heard a lot of good comments on the flight characteristics of the TF P-47. It sounds like a good choice as a first warbird.

Third it allowed me to do more building before proceeding with the TF kit.

Scott.
