RC Warbirds
Howdy,
I figure most of you play this game because you love warbirds -- which is why I started playing about two weeks ago on the PS3. I've been flying RC Warbirds for a few years and figured I'd share my collection with anyone who may have a similar interest. All the birds are on my website for anyone who cares to take a look. Believe me -- I'm alot better RC pilot than I am a virtual one apparently, because you guys shoot me down quite a bit. Hopefully, I'll get better with practice. Here's the website address: www.blitzkrieg-rc.com PS. I always play with the 109s, because I'm trying to earn the G-10 and K models, but at the rate I'm going -- I probably won't get there till Xmas.

Been doing RC a long time now, but just got a few warbirds this last year. I've got a P-38 which has been quite a bit of fun. even afixed a video camera to the tail
 I just picked up my new favorite a few days ago, the Parkzone Ultra Micro Mustang. Awsome little bird, and it flies in your front yard, and does touch'n goes off the sidewalk  Not a video of mine, but this one is worth a look! They will have more warbirds on the way too! Its the size of a pigeon!

MDBUEHLER,
WOW!! That little Mustang is too cool -- I can't believe I haven't heard about this till now. I just picked up my Parkzone BF-109G a few days ago (waited about six weeks for it) -- haven't even flown it yet, and I'm already thinking about that pigeon sized Mustang. You say there will be more of the little birds coming -- which ones? I'll have to run out to the hobby shop tomorrow and bug the crap out of those guys. I've got the little E Flite Sopwith Pup that I fly on calmer days, and it is virtually unstallable -- floats like a kite. As for the P-38, that thing is just plain cool. I've got the E Flite one that came out about 5 years ago -- but like so many others (Alfa FW 190D, FSK BF 109G, GP Hellcat and Corsair) -- I just haven't gotten around to building it. I always seem to stay about 6 or 7 kits ahead of what I actually have flying -- like alot of others, from what I've heard. I usually build the next one as soon as one gets "Retired". Very cool videos by the way -- and thanks for sharing.

I would love to have a BF-109, but I have no experience with planes as I have run only nitro cars and trucks.
Is it hard to pick up? ALso, do they make a decent 109 kit for noobs like me?

Parkzone BF 109G
mattmanB182,
This would be the perfect choice for you (Hartmann's bird). I just picked mine up (pictured) a few days ago. It has a 40" wingspan, and the details out of the box are great for a Parkflyer Class bird. Here's a link to that section of my website: http://www.blitzkrieg-rc.com/jv44website_228.htm And here is alink to the Parkzone Page: http://www.parkzone.com/Products/Def...ProdID=PKZ4980 I think I miss-labeled it as a G-6 on my website -- I think this particular plane was a G-14. I should tell you though -- warbirds are not the planes to learn on. If you really want to learn how to fly, I'd go with a Hobbyzone Super Cub -- or some Bi-Plane (with just an elevator and rudder) of your choice -- because the wing loading is alot less severe. The low wing planes are not very forgiving -- especially the warbirds. They can be in a tree, in the ground, or in someone's car or house in the blink of an eye

I've been thinking of getting myself a 1:13 Ju-87 (what else
 ) from Flying Styro. The details seem very nice, and from what I've heard it shouldn't be too hard to fly with the right components. All of their (flying styro) models seem to have a high amount of detail. It's "Almost ready to fly" so I have to do the assembly myself, something that I like. I'm not to confident with my flying skills though, I don't want to crash my cash...

Infinite States,
You were definitely watching my six the other night -- as you were blasting me out of the sky  As I've said in other posts, my settings are for "Realsitic Mode", and I don't bother to change them -- so you can only imagine what happens to someone who goes into "Arcade Mode" in a 109 with the sensitivities turned down. I feel like that bloody stuff they tossed over the side of the boat in "Jaws", when they were trying to lure the shark in -- I believe its called "chum". At any rate -- you're definitely a few leagues ahead of me as a pilot. Sorry about robbing you of a few kills (I crash alot) -- but not intentional at all. I have to resort to alot of "stall" tactics when I'm flying "Arcade" -- and sometimes I end up in somebody's living room -- or splattered across their lawn. I could crank up the sensitivities and fly a Hurri II, or La-5n, or a Spit when I go in there like everybody else -- but I only fly the 109s because I want to earn the G-10 and K models. Yeah -- if you see me flying arcade, and you need alot of shot opportunities, just watch my six -- because there will be a whole train following behind me

It's easy to tell the difference between someone diving into the ground to deny score and someone not realising their evasive maneouver is going to end in tears... I really do recommend you set your sensitivities back to max when you join arcade games though. It takes only a couple of seconds at the start of the match - before any hostile contact.
