w8ye The PTS Mustang is a great sport plane (I don't recommend it has a primary trainer). Not scale, but at 50 feet away- looks pretty good. I love the ones that I have (currently I have three (one being rebuild to a B model) one with retracts and the third still pretty much stock), especially with a 61 2S up front.
With all the drag devices they send with the plane it is the most docile trainer plane you've ever flown. I wouldn't own one myself but . . . .

I've seen new guys bring them out to the field and the ones I've flown - fly about like a Hobbistar. I also seen them with all the training devices removed and they still appeared to be rather gentle though I never flew a stripped one.
