My first Warbird was the World Models P-51. I would recommend this plane to anyone. I also have a Kyosho Spit, and although it flies great, the P-51 was a better airplane.

The Kyosho planes have printed sticky back covering that is NOT completely fuel proof. They look pretty darn good at about 10 feet, but the covering starts to lift up after a bit, and is hard to get stuck back down. The World Mustang costs a tad more, but does come with mechanical Retracts, a Pilot, and a few other goodies that you don't get with a kyosho kit.


As long as you've flown some sort of intermediate tail dragger plane, I don't think you would have trouble flying either of the planes above.

I had a Modeltech Me-109, and it did not compare to the kyosho or World ARFs.
