I'm considering a foray into warbirds. I have been flying aerobatic planes and would like to know what you more experienced folks might recommend. I'd like to stay in the .60 to .90 2 cycle mode, Super Tigre.90's being my preference. If the plane should have retracts I'll go that route, but am willing to pay for good ones to avoid hastles flying. I'd like the plane to be a good flyer, for a first one with little in the line of quirks. I can build, but prefer an arf or arc airplane. I don't want to get into a massive building project though. The closer to to flying the more likely I'll take the plunge. I do not need to build or go to scale contest level but would just like a good honest warbird type plane. My interests have always been towards P-40's, non-razorback jugs, spitfires, folkwolfs, or corsairs. P-51's would be on the end of my list. I know, it unamerican, just have trouble with the esthetics with a 2 blade prop and the monster spinner. But my primary concern is not for the particular plane but one that flies well and is not too difficult to fly and doesn't do quirky things like tip on its nose every landing. I'll be flying off grass if that is a consideration.

So I'll wait now and see what you all say.

thanks,

bob
