1 Robinson Redwing-a rare 'side by side' pilot/student design that was very stable. Only 12 were made one for actor Will Hay. The Redwing company were located in Bensham Lane/Lucerne Road Thornton heath where I lived as a child. In the 1930's Redwings owned Gatwick Airport before it was developed. There is an excellent museum at Gatwick that is well worth a visit. You can climb into a number of military aircraft including a 'live' Shackleton. they have a Redwing fuselage side. A complete Redwing is based at Redhill Airport.

 

Choice 2--SE5

 

 Choice 3--Neuport Scout

 

MJE

[Roger Goddard]

Fieseler Fi 156 Storch. designed to have slow flying characteristics

Westland wirlwind. WW2 twin engine fighter.

[Andy Blackburn]

1. Fairey Swordfish for .60-.70 4s or electric:

 

 2. Hawker Hunter T.Mk 7 EDF with a decent low pitching moment airfoil and washout so that it can also be flown off a slope:

 

 3. (...after much thought) Messerschmidt 109 G, preferably a late model such as a G-10:

[rookie jim]

my vote would go to a planes that are not readily available as builds and in some cases not that common ( as far as i can see anyway) as ARTF.

 

raf chipmunk trainer, perhaps with the option of canadian airforce canopy

mustang

zero

 

ideally the model should be capable of a realistic priced electric conversion. i.e 4s or 5s maximum

[Chris Salomon]

Stuka

 

Gladiator

 

Gypsy Moth

[Alistair Duff]

If we are looking for something different, (not from WW2),  then it has to be a twin hulled, twin engined, twin finned, triple ruddered,  Italian flying boat from the 1920's.     I.E. A Savoia Marchetti S55x.

Or a Hawker Tempest Mk5

 (OK  I chickened out there)

 

[r6dan]

[magoo]

Hi my three choices are

1.IL2

2.BLENHEIM

3.MYSTERY TAILESS

[Wingman]

How about a Supermarine Walrus - ticks lots of boxes - biplane, large-ish, amphibious, single engine, pusher (prop saver!), good for electric or IC, WW2 and camo, yellow or silver finishes.

 

[Sarah Frazer]

A mosquito or FW190 please

[Clive Kerr]

 

 Let's keep it simple, and British.

 1 ) Miles M.18,  basic trainer

 

 2 ) Miles M.20,  8 gun fighter

 

 3) Percival P.56 Provost.

 

Miles M.18

 

Miles M.20

 

Percival P.56 Provost

[Martin_H]

de Havilland Dragon, nice straight wings, slab fuselage, easy to build twin

 

Fairey Fantome - the most beautiful biplane EVER built, or

 

Ryan STA - lots of lovely cowls and spats  and curves and wires around a fairly simple oval fuselage

 

 

If I had a REAL choice I would go right out there with the Miles M35 Libuella....
