P51-D Miss America oversized Evo 120 pitts muffler 94"WS, retracts, this plane screams and you have to be on your game

KI-84 single cylinder 4 stroke Satio 95, retracts, 92" WS, nice bird to fly, low rumble from the 4 stroke,much easier than my 51

My Winter project B25-J Mitchell 104" WS twin OS 65's, retractable gear, i went oversized on the engines ( recomended 52's) because there is so much extra room in the bombay area that im going to make it funtional with opening doors and Flour bombs that will release via servo, plently of room for extra servo's in the plane, as long as i keep my CG right i'll have no problems, planes parked on a kingsized bed

Looks to be a tether to hold it in place during run-up.

my pony.....1.5 four stroke. was clocked at 150mph by previous owner

my super decathalon(i know it's not a warbird, but it's aerobatic...close enough)
(http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa135/1LTCAP/AVIATION117.jpg)
this p-40 isn't mine. i'm working on one identical.....it will not have that crappy looking muffler though....
(http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa135/1LTCAP/AVIATION118.jpg)
my world models t-34. the red one is another club members.....the yellow checkered one is mine. it's been modified with bigger rudder, elevator, and aielrons, along with a os .50sx, rather than the called for .40. it makes a good warmup plane...and it's fun to fly it backwards in heavy winds. :devil

Growing up as a kid in Two Harbors, MN, I remember seeing Bud Nosen out test flying his 1/4 scale F4Us. This would have been early 80's maybe. Not sure who he used to sell his kits through (maybe A&A), but just curious if anyone had any of those? :salute

bullseye, that's a nylon warm up strap, dogfighting we would use a plastic streamer

should be paper mache streamer. plastic will tangle in the prop.
-
We tried Paper Mache, they always seem to tear when taking off, we've only had a few tangle in the years we've been doing our craziness, the other plane just drags them both back to a somewhat safe landing, or land in a soft place (scrubbrush),or Alfalfa fields those are always soft, farmer might get alittle PO'd but they understand

Hey! I'd at least have gotten the paint and the decals right! What an awful mess with a D-Day striped, red star and bar ETO B25J that never existed! I could crash it however :)

im going to recover it with the proper olive drab then airbrush some weathering, your right it looks awful the way it is

im curious to get into this type of stuff, but i admit im a "noob" when it comes to building things.
is there a way you can order these planes allready built? any websites or stores? and any tips on a novice flyer?

Tyrannis look here... http://secure.hobbyzone.com/index/index_park_flyers_rtf/HBZ7300.html (http://secure.hobbyzone.com/index/index_park_flyers_rtf/HBZ7300.html)
I bought one of these last year and it requires very little building (just gotta put the vertical and horizontal stabs on it with provided screws and the main wings are held on with
rubber bands).. It's made of styrofoam that's made to be easily glued back together in case you do crash it. It even has built in Anti-Crash Technology(ACT) that helps you fly until you feel comfortable
enough to fly it on its own. I've flown the crap out of mine and haven't had any damaging crashes. My bother had a 'small' run in with the ground and broke the fuselage in half and broke both wingtips
off but we easily glued it back together and now you can't even tell it was broke and still flies like it was brand new. PM me if you have any questions or you want to know more

theres Stick built ( by plans) they can start at 39.00 on up, ARF ( almost ready to fly) requires Motor, Servo's radio, to finish there about 145.00 and up, then there's RTF ready to fly right out of the Box, motor, servo's, radio, comes everything you need except gas and starter plug they start about 285.00 and up depending on plane type and size
