Anyone have any experience with the Top Flite P-40 warhawk? What engine, any bad habits with flight.

Do a search and you will find a whole lot of info on this bird. So good, some bad. Alot will depend our what you looking for in a warbird and the pilots building and flying ability. I have built two and have very mixed opinions. I would elaborate more but your thread is very open ended. You will find awhole lot of data is available. Good luck!

ya ,build as lite as possible.i had a 60 in mine and it flew ok but there are many better engines than when i had mine.it will stall and rol over in slow flight so watch your landing speed real close,other than that what a sweet looking plane in flight
