Default .25 size nitro profile?

I have an O.S. 25FX that I would like to put in a profile or sport plane just for everyday flying. I already have the sonic .25 so any other suggestions are appreciated...........

I've flown the stuffing out of a World Models Air Combat Zero. It's not much to look at, stand way back and take off your glasses scale, but it flies great. They make a couple other trims. Over the course of its life I've had a Saito .45, OS .25F ABC, and an OS .32 FSR in it. All three flew great, but the .32 is in it right now for the speed. If Iever crash it, I've got a Yak (exact same plane, different colors) that I'll put in service.

The Great Planes combat series get pretty good writeups. I've thought about buying the Spitfire, but with somewhere around 30 unbuilt ARFs and kits sitting on the shelf, Ineed to resist the temptation.

if you feel like building a tower fun 51 should fly well with a OS 25 I flew one with a OS 40 la and your 25 should have about the same power. I also flew a world models combat spitfire with a ST 29 that was alot of fun for the money. Greg

be careful on buying the fun p51 mustang profile from tower hobbies. i built one and it flew a few times and than started a viabration i never got out. it maybe ok with your motor, but i had a a super tigre 51 in it. very fast i will say and a nice kit. it sounded so loud with the vibe in the wings it was very noticeable. it affected the way the engine ran, believe it or not. the profile fuse is weak. even though it is lamanated it's still has no sides or top or bottom ,like a built up fuse. it flexes very bad in the middle, right behind the wing. i even reinforced it there to no avail. keep the power to a .32 and you should be ok. it is however a nice kit for the price....................RON
