Looking for first Glow warbird(.25-.40)


Hi
I have been flying rc for about 3 years now. I have experiance with a few small electric warbirds such as GWS and Alfa warbirds as well as experiance with a couple larger balsa low-wing sport type planes. I am interested in getting a glow warbird anywhere from .25-.40 size. I have an HOB Fw-190 under construction right now that will be powered by an O.S. .10 that I hope will get me ready for a larger glow warbird. Is there any good kits/ARF's out there of warbirds in the .25-.40 range and would my skills as a flyer permitt me to fly these planes.

There are hundred of warbird ARTF Kits and yes in my opinion if you can fly smaller electric you can fly larger glow. I have 42 planes about 12 glow and 30 is electric and my larger glow are the easiest to fly.

I would suggest one of following:

Sportsman aviation FW190
Kyosho P40 40 size (the SQS Series)
Kyosho Spitfire (the SQS Series)
Seagull corsair (46 size) but put say and irvin 53 in her
Ripmax Tigermoth

You can ses all of these on my website www.densplanes.co.uk

Have fun

Top flight planes are .60 size and that is a minimum engine. They fly O.K. and are not a bad build, but get heavy fast if you are not careful.
I would look at the Skyshark kits. Most are in the .40 size range and are easy builds.
