Chris,
Mike Danford will steer you in the right direction and you will have fun too, most important part.. The Black tiger is a very good flying plane , Kept light enough and plenty of power , it will do you a good job in OTS and Classic .. Put as big a fuel tank as you can in it,. I have attached a old photo of Curtis Comer's Black Tiger, he flew with Bob Elliot in the Late 40's and Early 50's . The kit box had the number 41 on the plane ( Bob Elliot's Plane ) , Curtis was 44 , other club members we 42, 43,.I. Curtis P 40 was built befor ethe Berkeley kit came out .
If I get around to building one I have a very nice sandcast Fox 35 for it..
