That P38 looks expensive to crash.  And since it is an RC airplane, it will crash.  :)

Stop!, you are going to spend the kind of $$ that can buy the most awesome grill you can find. Think of the children!

Contrary to popular belief, flying an r/c airplane that costs several thousand dollars is NOT fun.  This is how the term "hangar queen" originated in the r/c world.

the most fun with r/c airplanes you can have are cheap easy to build warbirds that will not die when you crash them into terre ferma or even other airplanes.

If I were to build an RC airplane, it would be a bomber like this b-25. A remote controll B-52 or B-1 would be very cool.
