Thanks for the info. That's exactly what I have been finding during my research, hardly any good warbirds as a good second plane. It's funny you mention the P-40, I have always wanted that plane and was just looking at the Mentor.
I did build a really cool Midwest Messerschmitt Kit .40-.46, way back, I flew it with an instructor one time and felt it was way to hard to fly as you stated and ended up tradeing it in for a RC boat. Which was a flop decsion.
With that said, please do let me know how the P-40 handles and I am going to research more traditional 2nd planes.
Maybe the tiger 2 ARF.

Thanks again
