Martin McIntosh Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 I once had a 60 powered Warhawk and a Mitchel- they were both great models to fly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superworm Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 What what Martin An F35 is a "Lightning 2" as its now affectionatley known - Lockheed Martin & BAE Systems and others. The F35C has a big wing and will doubtless fly better for we modellers.Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosk Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Some nostalgia from my own past, but probably impractical:1 Victor Airtourer (RAAF Military CT4-A)2. Aeromacchi MB326H3. CAC Winjeel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Whiting Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 My choice is:1 Short L-17 Scylia (electric ) 80"2. Spruce Goose (electric) 100"3. Lysander 80" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Boland Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 1. DH Mosquito - 60" to 70" 2. DH Beaver - 60" to 70" 3. FW 190 - 60" to 70" My preference is for IC but electric can power anything these days. This size seems to be a good choice as they are still easily transportable but large enough to be good flyers. 60 to 90 motors would be good.
