Warbird Name
a few months ago I seen a warbird that was real sharp. Cannot remember the name but it is spell something like (Dewotona). This is not the correct spelling but something like that. It had a real nice color scheme. Can anyone give me the correct spelling for this plane.
Thanks,
Thanks,

It looks real nice. I think I just made my mine up to get one. One question, do the plane comes with the retracts already are the seperate purchase?

I'll make a note of the A7000 when I build mines. Let me know how you make out with your madien flight. Oh, almost forgot I was going to put the dle 20. Good or bad choice

I'm not sorry to say it but that is one of the uglyiest planes i've ever seen. It looks as if the french took and put every other plane that was produced by the americans and english and just thru it together. It looks like a shortened p-40 fusalage with a at-6 texan & spitfire tail and a spitfire or hurricane wing.

I flew mine a couple weeks ago with a Saito 125 and it flew very well. 25mph winds 90deg to the runway so I did not get to test the flaps but a solid performer. I used the stock retracts with zero issues.
