I just havent been impressed by any of the older designs. Im sure they were top of the line flyers back in their day, but compared to today's more advanced designs...there's just no contest. The older pattern planes fly much like the sport planes of today.

Like I said. If your looking for a good flying plane...the vintage ones are not it.

If you are purely interested in the vintage, and nostalgic value of the old designs...they are like a fine wine. Better with age.
