What airframes for Wren 44 Turboprop?
I have a Wren 44 Gold here that needs an airframe. I've had a look around at what's available and nothing really floats my boat. I've spoken to Wren and they have told me that it should be possible to 'upgrade' my engine to a 44 Turboprop.
If I went down this route, what airframes would be suitable?

I guess either a Pilatus or a Tucano, Comp ARF and YT International ( I have the YT one of these) do really nice ones.

Why not try something different. There is more than one full size P-51 with a turboprop engine. Why not try a Comp ARF Mustang, it is a lot of work but would look and sound great.

NICE !!!!
I love big Sticks. I've probably had 12 over the years, and they always fly good for a big ugly sport model. I have a Goldberg Wild Stick 120 with a 30cc DLE on it. 10 Lbs flying weight, and 18 Lbs thrust. It's a good time.

Tony, you do man. I love them giant sticks too and have had just about everyone but the Nosen. I would love to build one of those one day. I think a midwing bashed Nosen big stick with a turbo would be off the hook. Ha. Ha.

John I tried looking for full sized Turbo propped P-51's and have had no luck. Where did you find them?
