Which Alpha model?
 

I'm thinking of going for one of the Alpha warbirds. My mate has the P-51 and that flies and looks the bizz. Are there any differences in flight behaviour between lets say the Corsair, P-51 and thunderbolt, or do they all fly pretty much the same.
Thanks for any comments.

All the Alfa's fly prety much the same. The P51 is the fastest and the P47 the slowest (that fat fuselage!)
The LA 7 is a little more prone to tip stalling than the others and the FW-190 is superb, both in looks and the way it flies.
If it's a P51 that grabs your attention, why not wait until their new P51B hits the shops, for something a little different?!
The P51D has been done to death in all scale sizes.

I have flown the alpha Corsair for the past 2 years. Wonderful on the recommended brushless/li-po set up.

Looks great in the air.

I get a lot of compliments on it.

Also have the MiG-15, but haven't yet completed it.

Love my P-51 Marie. It is a bullet on still very stable on axi 2212/20, 8x6 apc, 2100 tp 3. I have the FW-190 also, but it has not been flown yet.

I have the corsair on the mpjet outrunner. Very flast, straight flyer. I also now own the f-86 sabre which will maden this week. Love both, excellent models, all alfa models are amazing. Pick what looks best to you.

KC, You wil love the FW-190. I find it is smoother to fly than the P47.

Hi guys. Just bought the Alpha Corsair. Where can you get the black with yellow tip props from. The shop just supplied a normal 9x3.8 grey one. I know its being a bit fussy, but when you've got a lovely looking scale model you dont want the prop to spoil it.

You could just paint it....I'd use an airbush or spray can....spray some white on the tips...before you spray the yellow...allow a few hours between colors...then just mask off what you wish to be yellow and spray coat of black...be sure to use thin and even coats...I would brush it on for fear of an un balanced prop....

I did mine in reverse to what you wrote.
But masked off the tips 1st up. Rub the prop down with some methalayted spirits 1st up and then give it quick and light rub with some very fine emery paper the hit it with some spray enamel.
