Yeah-- a floaty plane is definitely fun. I've been flying a Slow Stick, stock, for nearly a year now (with no winter flying
) and love it. I'll soon be building a second one and equipping it with a brushless/LiPO setup for better performance in wind.
The Formosa has been recommended to me as a good low wing aileron trainer, and I have a slope version which I'll be building soon, with the same power setup. I have warbird fever too, but I'm trying to control myself until I can fly the Formosa confidently. I've considered painting the Formosa to look sort of like a P-51 just to have it look like a warbird, but have decided on a different, rather comical paint scheme. I'll post pics when I build it.
