Default RE: Top flight 85" P47?

Well, I currently fly glow power, though have been considering gas. Our club fly's at a community college here and they are considering revising the rules to ban gas probably do to liability issues at the college (building keep getting closer and closer to the field).

So, having said that, I was looking at a Skyshark. Looks like a good build and there are some good threads on RCscalebuilder. But flaps have to be engineer in (I'm ok with that) but I think the Top-Flite 63" is looking very good and capable of most of the scaling that the boyz in Peter thread are doing. If I go with the 85" it definately got to be gas. Even at $2.50 a gallon it seam cheap compared to burning up 20-30 Oz of 15% Nitro every flight on a big Supre Tigre.

Some good color schemes for the P-47 can be found at:
