Most planes are converted open b's. I have flow both a warbirds and open planes. The warbirds are from Mike Fredrick's http://www.hattrickrc.com/ he also sells the famous bat trick.
Another excellent design is the Piranha from Ben Morrow. This design can be flown in either open b or SSC. Just swap out the engines. http://www.downhomerc.com/ if you need any help getting started let me know. My recommendation is a Piranha and a o.s la .15. Seems lame but a ton of fun. We flew 30 minutes of combat today at 45-50 mph and we had a blast. Traded streams and could see collisions coming and could change course before they occur. B's a blast but the collisions are brutal.
