RE: Top Flite P-47D Thunderbolt ARF .60-.91: Building & Mods

Funkymeter, Sorry you lost your plane. I have always thought you could have two flyers trying to hit each other and try all day long and not do it. Then you have two planes in the air and it happens...

RE: Spitfire Brotherhood (All Spitfires Welcome)

I have just added Aeroloft dry- transfer "nomenclature" to one of my warbirds. It is an awesome finish detail to any warbird.

RE: Spitfire Brotherhood (All Spitfires Welcome)

My Hanger 9 P40 is a Nose-Over fool. It is almost impossible to land without tipping over. I am surprised to hear about the same thing with H9 Spits as I don't believe mine has ever tipped on landing...

RE: WingSpan Retracts into a Hangar 9 P-40

RE: Top Flite P-47D Thunderbolt ARF .60-.91: Building & Mods
