This is strictly to be a FUN project. Just enough to be able to throw my hat in the ring at a contest. I have plans for the Sterling P-51, Sky Shark, Yak & Messerschmidt. Also a MA plan for a Spitfire. I also have parts cut for a British Skua by J. Wagner Requirements: easy to fly, do simple stunts, easy to get simple documentation, & easy to repair. All on my to build list. Engine control, 3 line or modern R/C
All suggestions, criticism, encouragement, stories of past experience WELCOME! Forgot, I have kits for a Sterling Corsair & Sterling's C-5 Polish Fighter PZL P. 11
Thanks,
JEC

Clear your bench. Put all of the names in a hat. Draw one and commence to continue!

You can build a Profile or a full bodied model for Fun scale, the rules state that there is no down grade for a profile fuselage in fun scale.
There are only 5 outline and 5 color points for static in Fun scale, the bulk of the points are flying points. The outline and color/markings do need to be perfect but need to match the basic color scheme and markings
Throttle only can perform the 6 options, check out our club website on CL scale with some suggestions on stuff to look at, but remember the majority of these items only really apply to a sport scale model. Throttle, taxi, touch and go count as 4 options, you need 2 more to get the six required.

Look for museums that you can personally visit. First hand documentation is a BIG plus.
