I have this plane. It fly's great but on the ground its a handfull! Mine will ground loop in the blink of an eye. I sloooly accelerate on takeoff. when landing its sometimes under control sometimes not. I wouldnt buy the plane again. Most of the clubs in my area don't even consider this plane a Warbird due to it not being a combat plane but a trainer instead (Advanced Trainer 6) is what it stands for I think. It's a great looking plane in the air with the retracts up. I tore one retract out on my second flight. It was an easy fix and havent had any more trouble since. I think you could do better by picking a different plane. My third plane was a WM Dago Red Mustang and I've been happy with it, but landing is still touchy for me. The AT-6 is known to be a tough plane to handle on the ground due to the landing gear so close together.
