The mustang is $700 most places up here in Canada! The new v1200 is over $500 Canadian, and I know it has 6s guts and motor but at that price for essentially a 1.2m foam plane I am out. Honestly, I'd be thrilled with any spitfire from 2s umx up to 6 channel 1.5m, At the high end price will be important because freewing has a lovely 1.6 m mkix and I worry these 1.5m eflites are getting pricey. Looks to perform about the same which is great and certainly worth picking up if you are wanting a late late model spitfire! It's not my first choice of spitfire either but they had people at durafly/hobbyking on a spitfire craze for a few years there! Someone at my club has it and I've seen it up close and many parts, such as the landing gear, are identical to my mkvb durafly. Honestly, it is pretty neat that they even made a 1.1m mk 24. I just hope the market demand is still there for warbirds.ĭurafly has a mk 24 spitfire, I don't know I'd have to look closer at the details but might be the best hope for an fr 47 if you did that one up yourself. There are so many great warbirds to release and so many schemes to refresh the current ones. I would paint it in VF-84 Jolly Roger's scheme to go with the 1.2m Corsair I am working on this winter and match a bunch of my static model Tomcats that are all from VF-84. I would be super geeked about the Tomcat. It would be fun to have some Axis planes so I have something to chase after with my Mustang and Corsair. I am not a fan of German planes, but always thought the ME-262 was a pretty awesome plane. Not H9 monsters that require getting a loan. 80mm if it’s affordable.ġ.0 - 1.5m P-38 with removable outer wingsīalsa ARFs up to ~50” wing span. Me-262 up to 70mm with the works from 55mm and up My neighbors always get a kick out of the P-51 and P-47 putting on a show in the yard and over the water.Ībout the same thing as last year year for me.į-14 anywhere between UMX and twin 70 to combat with the Sukhoi They aren't terribly expensive, fly great, easy to store, and look awesome in the air. The UMX warbirds are perfect in the backyard or the club field. I kept hoping the Corsair and Spitfire was next. I could hunt for subs in my pond in the backyard. Even a UMX version with the Citation motors and removable gear would be fun. I would have to study the landing gear a bit more, but I think they aren't too far from what the F-16 uses or at least be close enough to work. If I had extra channels, I would make a boom that extends and retracts out the back. I think a S-3 Viking would be a lot of fun. I hope horizon is listening and they rethink their market research because I would take ANY 2S WARBIRD!!! On the slightly larger size, like the scale of the twin otter or a10 eflite has out. The s-3 viking is something that could be so neat in a umx and I'd much rather that than the citation. The Bill of material or BOM is an itemized list that contains ALL the parts required to build this Fairey Swordfish.There are 4 pages, in PDF format, that can be accessed below.I dig that list. One big advantage in buying the PDF files, Is there is NO shipping costs! Mailing costs for paper plans seem to have skyrocketed lately.Ĭost of printing a full set, full size at Staples Canada was $43.50 CAD. Please check that you are really printing full size and adjust the print scale if necessary. You only have to glue one drawing together and are still able to print at home. I have included a set of full size layouts of the wire parts, in the PDF package. If you buy the laser cut parts, then seriously consider printing at home-I found this method very do-able and certainly convenient. So you have a choice here-Use the PDF files to print a set of plans of the Fairey Swordfish at home, at letter or legal size or take the file to your local print shop and print a full size set.
