I'd love to see more electric warbirds larger than S400 size but I would like to see them a little bigger than these sizes, maybe another 12" in wingspan that can handle retracts, like an electric version of glow 40 sized warbird ARFs but designed for electric; assembled lighter, battery hatches and cooling designed in to it. I'd even like to see a kit like this! I have a Kyosho 40 Spitfire, which I haven't started on, and all the components weigh close to 3lbs! It's probably going to be 7lbs or more AUW

I'm not sure I'm comfortable with the price point but then Jepe isn't a Chinese outfit. The Kyosho Spitfire is an ARF and is a little cheaper, $169. There are several 40 size P-51s at $200 and less and many of them include retracts.

These Jepe warbirds seem a good replacement for the discontinued Balsacraft warbirds.

I'm not sure I would buy one of these Jepe ARCs.

I'll take one of each!!:D
I love glassed fuselages. These planes are definitely top notch in my book. With a Mega in it you can't go wrong.
I hope that you decide to go forward with importing them!!

All you have to do is see the video of Herb's dago-ish reno racer and you would be sold on these... search it out in these forums, and you will be impressed.

I'd be interested in a P-51. They look like reasonable quality from the photos. But only at that price point, much more and I'd have to think twice.

I know... I was surprised about the reno as well. This is probably the one really hot model that you see covered all the time... why they didn't include that one w/ the other stangs, I have no idea.

How about importing the Ripmax line of ARFS. Tower will NOT be carrying them <Spitfire aside>. I would think that the ME-109 <Ripmax> would be a big seller IF you could get them in the 125$ range.
