Default RE: BEST WARBIRD ARFS?

I agree. But....if you choose to build this one which will be available again in Aug. follow the posts here on RCU. The plane will nose over if you don't bend the gear wires forward and aileron throws need to be maxed out on high rates to get it to roll at a decent rate, etc.

This is a good warbird because you get most of the characteristics of warbirds without the hassles of retracts and it is easier to handle on take off and landings. I have some short video clips of mine in flight, touch and goes etc. if anyone is interested, I will send them to your email address.
ORIGINAL: Fastsky

The Great Planes Stuka ARF isn't cheap but its a good design. Even the wheels were a good size and useable. Its interesting and different looks always attracts a crowd at the field. Its a good sized plane that is very lite for its size so it would fly well on a 60 engine. I am using a TH 75 and it flys fast at less than 1/2 throttle. Lands as slow as an LT0 but tracks straight regardless of what the wind is doing! Can hover it in a light wind even without the flaps. A very fun to fly warbird. [8D]
