I have had parkzone spitfire, fw190 and decathlon.
I still have 3 miniums, the parkzone sukhoi
I have a couple of wings.
I make most things from depron or epp.
I am making a greenairdesigns lancaster
I also have the phase 3 micro spitfire-£55 and superb
And an ultrafly hawk
Suggest something that the mrs can get me for christmas?

Does anyone know much about the flying legends spitfire?
Or indeed the ripmax spit?

Or a good vulcan?
Or a nice, large se5 or camel, or even a stearman?

Must be virtually ready to fly though, as i am not dextrous enough to build at the moment.

Cheers all.

EDF Typhoon would be something different for you:

I believe there is a cheaper Chinese copy that gets good reviews too.

I have only ever had one edf model.

It lasted 5 minutes and is now in pieces the size of talcum powder!!!

Im thinking a nice large se5- i have the eflite one but its only rudder and elevator, would really like one with full control.

Or a nice big vulcan if such a thing exists.

Cheers though, its well worth a look- i saw the cheaper version at my local store, and it looks quite good to be honest

This?

I saw a review of a Stearman type aircraft recently in a magazine. I can never remember the name of the things - looks very similar, but are a bit larger IIRC.

Thanks very much

No probs.

I seem to remember the model being in the BMFA magazine. It looks nice. The SE5a is my favourite WW1 aircraft.
