Ok ok!

Warbirds are cool. We all need to come out of the closet and it's time! Yes I'm a closet warbird hucker.

Hi,
My name is Chris and I'm bulding a B-26d.

I must confess that I have always liked the Hellcat, but I am a huckin' bastard so I probably wont get one

.....post some pics of your build, sounds like a cool project.

I'm doing a "build thread" here: http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_4353068/tm.htm

No pics yet, but I hope to have them up soon. I only am 8 hours into it.

P40E Warhawk here... Was my first ever model... A line controlled Cox .049 !!!!

Biff · 06-07-2006, 03:05 PM

Tiger cat for me. A BIG sob with a couple 100cc's on it. Goes like stink lands like a heavy wing loaded butterfly. Something about tear assing down the runway with something that's WAY faster than most and WAY bigger is cool. All I need is a blue jump suit with all AMA badges ever made to complete the look.

For me it's all about flying. To watch warbirds,gliders or jets all week end is monotonous. To FLY warbirds,gliders or jets all weekend is BITCHIN!!

There's a lot more folks bowling than watching it on TV. Same thing here!!

Gonna biuld a big a$$ functioning water bomber is that close enough? Is this gonna lead to a warbird/ scale topic?

MetHerInBaghdad · 06-08-2006, 12:56 AM

A warbird is a cool thing. Have to admit that I fly a tigermoth from time to time to keep my roots.
Now a B26? That I need to see. Bet it is sweet, and lands like a fighter jet.

LawnJockey · 06-08-2006, 01:39 AM

P-47 here. This one and a NIB TF Gold Edition .60 size kit. Favorite is the Corsair and F6F Hellcat. When H-9 comes out with the 1.50 size I will buy it. Flat airfoils on warbirds look stupid.

66stang · 06-08-2006, 02:19 AM

Love my warbirds. I have about 250 flights on my H9 P-51 and only a couple on my Giant P-51.. Getting a new motor in it.. Gota do some high speed passes with a Moki 2.10.... Also building a Christian Eagle II..

Sandbag Special · 06-08-2006, 02:23 AM

I am building one of the P-51 1.50 size with robart retracts and a OS BGX-1 2.2 glow, my dad has an old B-17 kit he's building I forgot the company but it has a 152" wing span and is around 30% done, it will fly on 4 Super Tiger 61's (1963) with 2 cases swithed so that all mufflers face inward. Also a P-38 with 2 Super Tiger 90's (2006 lol).

Robby · 06-08-2006, 02:49 AM

JeeUm · 06-08-2006, 11:56 AM

Same here, warbirds or anything that's got a prop or is burning nitro or Jet-A is cool in my book.
