Death is no easy answer
For those who wish to know
Ask those who have been before you

In that case...
I have a small air force of JK Aerotech combat airplanes.  Their website is http://www.jkaerotech.com



I own:

2x: P-51s.  One is Red/Gray/White Ohio State theme the other is a black Pittsburgh Steelers theme.
 

2x:  F4Us. The first is a checkernose much like the picture the second is a frankenstein airplane after contacting a goose.  I used 1/2" dowell rods as wing spars...yeeee haw!


1x:  Painted much like our A6M5 in AH.  White base with red suns.



1x: I did my best impression of a Luftwaffe camoflauge airplane.  It didn't come out as well as I'd hoped.  It's mostly parts now after a run in with my cats.


I also bought one of their trainers when the girl I was seeing wanted to learn to fly.  The RC Combat airplanes were much too hot for her to start with and my Hobbico Avistar was toothpicks after a knife-edge pass thru trees went terribly wrong.  It's red/white as well:

Sweet Golfer!!! I just got in the sport about 8 months ago!!! and I love it!!I have all electric....But soon I want to get into gassers like you!! Because I am new I am trying to stay with the foamy stuff...that pic of the 38...I glued it all back together and just flew it last night, good as new!
  Also I bought a hotliner from germany that is fiberglass and balsa Its probaby a 100mph Plus Rocket...And I'm building a 101 inch Electric glider!!
  Anytime you want to fly let me know!! We will hook up!!

I haven't flown an RC airplane in a couple years.  Everything I have is in the loft of my parents barn in Ohio gathering dust.  One of these days I'll dust it off.  Know what a gallon of 15% fuel costs these days?  Used to be about $15/gallon IIRC.

Anyways the JKAerotech airplanes are all foam airplanes reinforced with BBQ skewers as spars and fiberglass reinforced strapping tape for more strength.  Give them a shot...they're easy to build and inexpensive to buy.
