Makes me wish I hadn’t give up on R/C… 🙁

I have a bit of aileron experience – I flew a 63″ Gangster for a couple of years…. 😀

The ‘warbirds’ are fine so long as you have a bit of aileron experience, the lighter rudder only models like the tiger moth and slow stick are so easy and relaxing you could fly them even if you had never seen an aeroplane before 😀
Have a look at www.fan-tasticmodels.com, they do lovely Migs, Sabres, Harvards and a GeeBee racer, all in foam, for GWS working parts. Also look up www.gws.com.tw, the official site, which has a link to another excellent gws forum on its front page.
I have often thought it would be nice to have a 9 ship gws tiger moth ‘diamond nine’ (I have one for starters 😀 ), flying around a small field at about walking pace!!

Are they easy jobs to fly? I obviously fancy a Spit….!! 😉

Could’nt agree more, GWS planes are a brilliant way of getting into (or back into 😉 ) flying r/c models. I have a half finished GWS Corsair that will probably fly in the spring (my Dad has the zero, I feel a dogfight coming on :diablo: )
They are not brilliant fine scale models, but are perfect for flying in small spaces and indulging in a bit of dogfighting!
PS. The new GWS Dakota looks very tempting!!!
