ideas for warbird plane

[Big Al]

Nice blog Big Al!  Did you have all those planes when Eric and I first met you at 'The Hill"?  Wow.. quite a collection of nice warbirds.

Not even close! As many that get into the hobby, I went overboard and warbirds are what interest me. The J-3 Cub I built is the only non warbird I have. I'm actually in the process of thinning the herd a bit.

TCCobra would you be interested in my FMS/Airfield Bf-109E? It is a kit so it would require motor, esc, Rx & servos. I have painted the airframe a different scheme so IMO it will look a lot better than the stock one. If you are interested, you can have it for $100 which is what I paid for it. It came w/ fixed gear but I also have some retracts for it that you can have for what I paid which I believe was $16 or so.

I've run out of room to put these things!

Also there is a coupon code for Nitro right now that is SAVENP10 that will take off 11% on the B-25, Stuka or Spitfire if interested. Also the coupon code pricepickle will give 5% off anything.

Regards,
Alan

well I haven't pulled the trigger on a plane yet.I thinking about waiting on the new airfield bf106 version and seeing how much it would be and maybe see if the current version goes down or maybe trying my hand at  a EDF http://www.nitroplanes.com/f18c-64mm-white-rc-jet.html
this one is RTF

i got the plane finished last night, i was going to do the maiden this morning but didnt wake up in time before i had to work. hopefully i can maiden it tomrow the plane looks pretty scale expect for two stickers of the rooster on the side of the plane but not that noticeable unless ur looking for it.

Looks great TCCobra!  Make sure to take it to an open area for maidening because trees are evil; unless they are made out of balsa.

ja i was gonna do the maiden flight at walterstate in sevierville. it has about 800ft of runway i can use and about 1,000ft of area of flying space,hopefully i can get to walterstate early in the morning and get the maiden in before class

[TCCobra13]

i did the maiden this morning it went well just need to adjust the landing gear to make it at an angle, the landing was smooth but where the pavement had a drop in it the plane tipped but not damage. i tried my 2200mah battery for it but with the landing gear being scaled it just wanted to tip so i was a tip on rcgroups to put some balsa or plastic to angle the landing gear forward a little bit so it doesn't tip over
