Pick a plane 2008

[Chris Salomon]

I forgot to say it has to be electric, but then again it is Tony, although he has strayed to the dirty side on occasions recently!

[Fats Flyer]

my three penny's worth are:

chipmunk.........

sea fury............

catalina............

shame they are all military,

David, maybe next time we should vote for an aircraft classification category BEFORE voting for the aircraft eh?...........be more intresting and maybe a good list of very different aircraft.................

vince

[Brian Parker]

Bristol Beaufighter

Westland Lysander

 Hawker Sea Fury

[FlyingAngel]

1.DH Mosquito 2.Bristol Beaufighter 3.ME-109 40" size, all electric preferably.

[Big Bandit]

And my choicfe would be :-

 DH Chipmonk, 40 size or electric.

JU-87 Stuka, 40 size

DH Mosquito, twin 30 size electric.

 Cheers,

Chris.

[Pete D]

My personal preferance is for a model that would also double as a scale trainer so high wing electric seems to be a good start.

 1. Fiesler Storch

2. Westland Lysander

3. D.H. Chipmunk   i know this is low wing but would also fit the bil

Thanks to Mr. N. for all his brilliant plans but as I detected in an earlier thread perhaps more for the Lekkies or maby design a plan with a choice of power plants.

[Chris Beer]

has to be

mozzy

bristol beau

lysander thingy

all with dirty great oily four strokes in .

glad that 2 of my original choices are in there.

[Chris Beer]

and if tony makes them idiot proof i may build one.

[Malcolm Fisher]

I'm sorry that they're all military types, but then I opted for some of them when first asked.

 I should stick to my preferences so go for Hurricane, Lysander and Storch - not necessarily in that order...

Supports Barry Wetherell view on the Westland Whirlwind 

[Brian Riant]

Not quite the ones I chose, but still interesting as scale subjects

1. Beaufighter

2. Cataliner

3. Stuka

No such thing as full size electric war bird!! so for a bit of added realism all should be i.c.

Not heard a model ic engine yet that sounded realistic (gas turbines excluded), however, some of the sound generation systems used on electric models sound very authentic!

[Gorfnoom]

DH Mosquito

JU-87 Stuka

Westland Lysander

Pity there aint a Supermarine Sea Otter, beautiful plane.

[Clive Moore]

My three are: 

1. D.H. Chipmunk

All IC please and it would be good if the plans could be enlarged so we can build a larger version

[Kelly]

Whoops  change the 110 to

Hurricane IC

OK Barry, Aaaahhh!  You talked me into it. Let's have a Whirlwind. Gotta have glow and electric,retracts and enlargability though.
