RE: YS 45, pipe and plane?
I love old-school but they are kits and hard to find- I actually got ahold of a Global Avance with retracts and it flew very well and was quick as well. I am not typically a fan of Global but I got a kick out of that thing!
The Ultrasport would be a great fit, it'd be nice if the Javelin was a tad smaller/lighter for the YS, man I love the YS-45!
