Snappa,

Yes, the world models plane is lighter because it is covered wood, not fiberglass. It also costs $400 instead of $250. The CMP BF109 is far from the "Cheap junky kit" you described in the other post. No doubt some new hardware is required, but I don't think I would use all of the world model stuff either. I for one have trouble with the look of most of the world models warbirds, semi-scale at best. Keep telling yourself your BF109 crashed due to mechanical failure, because it is far more likely that it crashed due to too much elevator out of a loop causing it to stall and snap.

If you want planes the fly like .60 size sport planes (and look kind of like them too), stick with Hanger 9 or World models. When your ready for the real heavy metal warbirds step up to KMP or CMP. I have yet to fly my 109 and know that due to the weight it will be a challenge until I get it sorted out, and that's fine by me.
