Hi Pete
A good friend and fellow flyer gave me 2 combat planes. Called a Warlord and its English. The reasoning is they will take tremendous punishment and will fly again and again. I have flown and have "bought the farm" expecting total destruction. Flipped the prop (not broken) and flown again till the next meeting with mother earth, again no damage. A grass field is manditory. Combat planes are fast, manouverable, almost indistrutable and quick to build. Save your stunt planes till you have more practice. Good luck
