Thanks for the vote of confidence. DO NOT START WITH A P-38!!!!!! I do not care who makes it!!...Well..the profile is ok, The wing loading is too high, rudders too small, engines too far apart..Own two now and have owned three others!! One survived to sale!! Do as I say not as I do. Yes, the most distinctive plane in the air. Consider the twinsync on ANY P-38 and I use two gyros.
Do you ALLWAYS use rudder with aileron ALL THE TIME.
I vote Cedar Hobbies Twin Stick for your 45"S. It will fly single engine relatively easy, but you need to learn to do that..and it is a lot of fun.
Add a little epoxy to the fire walls.
Good Luck,
Twinman
