Hello, Mark...
 RM>  TF warbird, I'd suggest the F4U rather than the Mustang.  TTYL - Roger
 MC> Actually I built one (F4U) as a magazine article for Model
 MC> Airplane News.  They never did publish it.  I never could get the
 MC> flight shots required.  Properly balanced with a ST90 it does fly like
 MC> a dream.  I sure have a problem with ground loops though.  It has to
 MC> be nursed through the takeoff run. 
 Tail draggers, especially the warbirds, require more skill and care in
 flying than the tricycle-geared aircraft - when I started with them, I'm
 sure I broke more props and had more aborted takeoffs than the average
 pilot.  When I'm teaching beginners now, I concentrate on having them
 do high speed taxi runs up and down the field WITHOUT TAKING OFF - the
 effort in keeping a straight taxi run is ESSENTIAL in learning how to
 fly the tail-draggers.  The F4U that I built for one of my customers
 was powered with a rear-exhaust OS 60 - what a sweet flying bird that
 is - still exists but with several minor repair jobs and one MAJOR 
 repair (broken wing, had to splice the gull joint and then re-balance
 the whole wing) - still flys well.  You've been an aircraft modeler for
 some time - right ???  What is your favorite bird ???  TTYL - Roger
