From the US, I'd like to see a nice 60 size Corsair and a P-61 Black Widow.

From the UK, I'd like to see a Tempest and a Mosquito.

From the Germans, I'd like to see a Ta 152.

And from the Japanese, I'd like to see a KI-61 Tony and a Kyushu J7W1 Shinden.

Thanks guys for the suggestions. We will keep these planes in mind. They are definitely unique and haven't been modeled to death.

I would also love to see a Hawker Typhoon from the UK:



It is one wicked looking plane. You don't see many of them around. The cowling can easily house a nice four stroke engine without having the valve cover(s) sticking out.

I just got a replacement canopy for my Zero from the latest VQ shipment, and it is significantly thicker than my original canopy. Hopefully it will stand up to the vibration and abuse.

I am very dissapointed with my vq texan. I flew from a grass field for the test flight. I found out quickly I would have to keep up the power on landing. When I went to land the right gear ripped out. The landing gear was not even glued with epoxy. It was a little bit of CA. What the heck is wrong with you guys. I was also not pleased with the flight qualities. The thing was way to fast even with a satio 50. Takeoff was a real pain also. I'm getting rid of this thing as soon as I can.

In general, 40 size AT-6 Texans are a handful to take off and land due to their short tail moment. My buddy, and excellent pilot, has the GP AT-6, and he always seems to have problems with it. There is a saying that if you can fly the real AT-6, then you can fly anything.

I got 50+ flights from a grass field on my VQ Zero now, and both of my landing gears are still intact. Typical of all warbirds, you must land with some power.

Lets bump this thread. Any newer observations on VQ models. Just about finished my new VQ P51B and it looks sweeet. Jury is still out on how well she'll hold up to my grass field. We have a number of guys flying VQ P51D's and this B model will really stand out.

Building a VQ zero- electric conversion, picked up some hobbico retracts for it....already fit larger wheels than stock for easier grass takeoffs and landings

Great Planes .60 size mechanical retracts are lighter, more stout, and have less play in them.

I have had two newer VQ planes, including the p51d and the brand new black and yellow AT6. Quality is markedly better on these newer planes. I have yet to fly my new AT6, but I will post pictures a more comments as I go.

Here's some pics of my P51B almost finished.

I would like to add that I recently purchased the VQ Zero and am very,very impressed.
The plastic cockpit tub and wingtips do look thin, hope they will last for awhile.

My only complaints are the too small wheel wheels(2.5") and lack of flaps.
I must say again that I am impressed with the quality, the wood looks great with excellent craftmanship.

Hello; I have a VQ FW 190. I have been looking for a not-too-expensive ARF FW 190 for years. It flies great, looks great, and gets lots of attention just sitting there looking good. No one else offers such a nice FW 190 (maybe kyosho) no matter what the price. VQ brought me a plane I would hav had to build, if not for them.

I will deal with any problems that come up, I will replace or repair broken parts and pe=ieces as they occur, same as any flyer.

For the money I paid, I think VQ are doing a fine job. I examined the plane before I plunked the money down, and decided then that it was a good value for the money.

I don't buy many ARFs, but if VQ made one that I wanted, I wouldn't be worried. I wonder why i so rarely see German warbirds. Everyone seems to have a mustang, corsair, spit.

I am very happy with mine!
