Good fllying planes and they are fun. They are currently working on a small indoor D VII. and I have flown it and it flies great. Be on the lookout for it on their website in the next month or two ;) .

Hangar 9 makes a nice biplane--the Camel...and it's big.

No pics or yet, but the wingspan is about 28' and will weighs in, with electronics, at about 5-6oz. They are still finishing some detail work, but it is a fun indoor plane, but it flies well outside too.

Pat Tritle has a 60" Jenny that is IMAA legal and flies on a 400-sized outrunner. It's really tempting for a way to break into giant-scale.

Tower Hobbies has the Fokker D-VII (http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXRJK0&P=ML) and the SE-5 (http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXRJJ9&P=M) on sale right now for under $50. They are both about 38". Not quite 42, but bigger than 32".

You should check out Powerline hobbies. They have some very nice WWI ARF. Below is the link to the thread on the Sopwith. It is a fantastic plane and comes in at around a 38 inch wing span. They also have some larger ones that are about 54 inch wing spans. Powerline is a small company that provides excellent service from my experience.

Your choices are almost unlimited if you will build it :)

We have a 36" and 54" SE5A and SPAD XIII.

A bunch of 36" size stuff.

Monoplanes over 40", like the EIII, M-S AI, Bristol M1C and DVIII.

I do like to build WWI planes that need little detailing. Yes, evey now and then I build something like the SPAD, but, slapping together a DVIII or the M-S AI and flying it is what I like. In fact, the M-S AI and M1C are both very easy to frame up.

:D :D :D
