As my company has finally decided on giving the grunts a bonus, I am looking for another plane. I currently have:

Superstar 40 ARF trainer
UltraStick 40 ARF

and am building a Goldberg Tiger 2 from a kit.

I just don't know where to go now. I am more of a fun fly or warbird type, as opposed to pattern. And I think that I would like to go with a 60 sized plane, mainly so I can see it easier. Or finally get my prescription updated for my glasses

I am not trying to start a religious type discussion, just trying to get some ideas. Whatever I decide on will be purchased at the LHS, since they beat Tower Hobbies prices and give a club discount.

Thank you in advance for your input!

If you like warbirds, and a 60 size is what you're after, may I recommend the Top Flite Gold Edition P-51?

Uproar 60 is a fun aerobat if you want to go that way.

World Models Super Stunts 40. It's a 60-size stick-type ARF that flies with a .46 and has a 40-size price.

My vote is for the Top Flite Gold P-39. Flys great and looks differrent at the field.

60 size means wingspan around 60in?
Sorry for the dummy question.

60 size means engine.

ohh yes, 60 means 0.6 cu in. Thanks.

How about a Skyshark Hellcat. Nice plane that handles well. Or hows about a Skyshark Val or Stuka. No retracts to deal with. A GP Stuka ARF might also do the trick. And last but not least for something completely different, a SIG Hog Bipe. Just a few freindly suggestions.

I got the Tucano T-27 67" wingspan. Was this a good choise?

thanks,

Nilo

Try a SIG 4*60 or SIG Something Extra

I want a Cermark 120 size Pitts with a YS 140 for my fourth.

Nilo, that's a BEAUTIFUL airplane! Who makes that? I always thought the T-27 was pretty sweet lookin' and I've never seen an RC version before. I WANT IT!! lol

Another plane you may try is the TopFlite P-40 Warhawk kit... it is pretty nice and doesn't seem to be as common as the P-51 and others.

That is one of my concerns. It seems to me (as a relative newcomer to the hobby) that EVERYONE has a P-51. I like the P-40, but am looking more at Navy planes. Like the Corsair or Hellcat. Anyone have the Hanger9 Corsair? I have searched the forums about the Corsair, and the only thing I found was complaints about the retracts.

I don't think I will get a 4 star, as I am building a Tiger 2.

Super Chipmonk or Extra 300s

Shoestring 60 ARF perhaps?

I knew that at Aero-FZD this model was $1300 plus shipping[X(], but the link I have doesn't work anymore and couldn't find one link in the internet that works. Are they out of business?
At http://www.ardmodels.com/tucanolr.html the kit is $650 for 1/5 scale
Plans at http://www.donsmithplans.com/

My I bought in Brazil for $282 plus $140 to bring it here. The box is huge and the regular airlines doesn't allow it as bagage and would charge $500 to send here as cargo. I'm using a moving company to bring as my personal stuff, since a brazilian citizen, by ship for $140.
But the companies in Brazil that produces the model doesn't ship international. Sorry![]

There are couple threats here about the tucano and a better search could reveal other companies in US that I'm not aware of.

So, you're looking for a 60 sized fun fly warbird?

Well, many fun fly's are profile so we could look for a profile warbird. The GP P-38 springs to mind, you could use two .30 engines making it a .60 size
