RE: should I grab this plane?

MVVS Ignition

Can anyone tell me if the programmable electronic ignition module for the MVVS 58 will work with the 45? A friend has a 45 and we suspect a faulty ignition and want to try the one from my 58.

RE: Warbirds Over Wanaka

I believe it can be set up and airworthy for around $120k US. Would that be right? Time for a garage sale........................:) It would make for one giant scale rc warbird.
