By the way, I did some searching for the GP Dr.1 .60 size. It's been discontinued

Wouldn't mind having one, I definitely favor WWI over WWII. As it is, with the options I have, I'm fairly decided on a CMP FW-190 from AK-Models.com or Nitroplanes.com. The weight is light, although the wing area is slightly less than 1000 sq in. Still, most people end up having to put alot of weight in the nose to get it balance right so I figure this will make a good conversion. It was a tough decision between the FW-190 and the A6M5 Zero. The Zero had 60 sq in more wing area but the FW had flaps and was a full lb lighter. Also the FW cowl is a full 9" across, while the Zero is 8 1/4" tall: my Kioritz is 4" from crank center to top of the head, I didn't want the glow plug sticking out of the cowling.
