Re: RC Plane Talk
Eh... It will possibly sag if it gets to like 90f in there. Usually foam holds up not too bad!

Re: RC Plane Talk
it's tough to say but i think it's very close to 1/18....probably a bit bigger but not much. I think it would fit in fine with a 1/18 collection.
i never met an airplane i didn't like...

Re: RC Plane Talk
Looks nice, but check out the Durafly Spitfire MK1. The scale look and foam finish are much better than the eflite. On a slightly closer scale to 1/18, I flew my FSK Mosquito 1/15, this weekend and got some great photos from our photographer.

Re: RC Plane Talk
Thanks, the Mossie was a lot of work! I've been building up my RC collection over the last couple years. I found that for same price as 1/18 I cloud get detailed models that actually fly. 23 Aircraft so far and counting, just trying to bring them up to match with the detail of 1/18 models now.

Re: RC Plane Talk
Well, best of luck with whatever you decide to do with it. Just be aware if you decide to fly it, it's definitely not a beginner level model. I would put the P-40 in the intermediate category, maybe as a good 3rd airplane. If you have the experience, go for it! Otherwise, best keep it on the shelf and start with a trainer plane like the eflite apprentice.

Re: RC Plane Talk
I use to fly RC stuff a long time ago and might be a bit rusty, it's been a long time between Drinks, lol I will probably do as you suggested and use another one to get back in the sadle.

Re: RC Plane Talk
Awesome! I'm sure your flying skills will come back in no time, just like riding a bike. Also, if anyone is looking for a 1/18 C-47, hobbyking has a very good deal on a bare bones kit. It's going to need props, landing gear, detailing and a paint job, but it's a good start: https://hobbyking.com/en_us/hobbykingtm ... m-kit.html. The canopy shape is a bit off, but that can be corrected with this kit: http://parkflyerplastics.com/cart/index ... cts_id=720

Re: RC Plane Talk
I have admit I've been eying that one up! Reports are that it flies extremely well! I am waiting for this Tigercat to be released before I decide though: https://www.facebook.com/FMSmodel/posts ... 5708863386 The CNC shock absorbing LG looks fantastic! Although both are nowhere near 1/18..Studly wrote:That look's pretty Neat !! it has a lot of potential . I have been checking out a F7F Tigercat...Very Tempting.

Crazy Kraut, check this out: https://www.motionrc.com/collections/wa ... np-flw205p Not 1/18, but a pretty unique German bird to say the least.

Re: RC Plane Talk
Oh yes it is. But my favourite is the Do335.
I hope for TEEBIRD to built this one up.
So the only RC-models who are near by 1:18 scale is the B25 and the B17 and the JAMARA F4 Phantom II ?? One guy in the forum is talking about an A10?

Re: RC Plane Talk
There are a few more out there. The A-10 that has been referenced is a Flying Styro kit model, and they are out of business now. Here are the other 1/18 RCs that I know of that are within reason for cost:
LX 70mm edf F-117: http://www.generalhobby.com/f117-nighth ... p-814.html
50mm T-33 (discontinued): https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing ... ollectible
64mm edf Freewing A-10: https://www.motionrc.com/products/freew ... df-jet-pnp This one is a very nice flyer and fits in well with the 1/18 models despite being closer to 1/16 scale.

Re: RC Plane Talk
The alfa Beaufighter is also pretty close to 1/18 and is still available direct from the manufacturer: https://www.alfamodel.cz
The J-power F9F Panther is also close, but a bit on the small side (around 1/19-1/20): http://www.bananahobby.com/3-ch-j-power ... t-kit.html
50mm edf T-45: http://www.bananahobby.com/3-ch-blitzrc ... t-arf.html
