i saw one fly with a zenoah g26 and it sounded like it was struggling to get enough air speed to fly. also i dont use the motor for overkill but, warbirds like most SCALE planes are tail heavy, so why add dead weight shuch as lead when you can just put a bigger motor in it and get more out of it than just weight?? the throttle dosent have to be full all the time. thats what i hate to see. these guys place the throttle at full and forget it. its as if the left stick isnt even on the radio. full throttle and no rudder. not very scale to me..

I had the chance to fly the one with the G26, it flew fine. Granted, it did not leap off the ground, but it took off fine, and would loop from level flight.

I think a 35cc engine would be more than adequate for it. I do agree that if nose weight is needed, may as well make it useful weight.

Here's mine....

I've just ordered one of these and wonder if anyone has any updates of any problems with the plane. I have heard of some retract problems.

Any input would be appreciated!

Mine will be electric.

My Dad just finished his P47 about a month ago with the G26 in it. I was the test pilot for the maiden and subsequent flights. I thought the G26 did just fine. It is no power house by any means. But after we put a 18x6 prop on it, it did fine. I thought it flew scale like. And it seemed to float in for landings. I think once we get the motor broke in it will be better of course. It is a sweet flying plane with killer looks and cool factor with the flaps and retracts! I hope to get many more flights on it.

Skyjet, where did you find one to order? I can't find them anywhere. I thought they stopped making them. Sometimes it shows up on Horizon Hobby as out-of-stock and at other times it doesn't show up at all.

I just received mine today. I can't wait to get started on it. It will be a slow project with a couple of birthdays, anniversary and the Holidays around the corner.

I bought mine from Graves RC in Orlando, FL. I have ordered from them a couple of times and I do recommend them.

The ARF costs $569.99 plus an over size shipping charge. The Oversize shipping charge to NC was $70.29. So mine ended up costing $640.00.

The last one I know of is at this link: http://www.gravesrc.com/HANGER_9_P_4..._p/han2700.htm
