    Help me pick my next plane

    I'm looking for a new plane. Currently in my hanger I have
    Fms T-28 55"
    Fms P-51 57"
    Freewing F-86 80 mm
    Dynam Waco,
    Fms Extra 300

    I was thinking about either the Flightline p38 or the Fms p40b 1400, they both are getting great review...I'm just not crazy about how the p38 looks

    any other ideas ?

      Well as for me I am boycotting FMS. They are now controlled in the U S by Horizon and the first thing they did was a price hike on everything. I would wait just a little longer for the Flightline Bear that is about to come out .

          Horizon has been a Fabulous company to deal with and they always put things on sale.

              The P-40B seems to be a good choice for you. Excellent detail, good power, and great flying characteristics. I would also consider the Hobbyking 1875mm B-17 V2, or the Fliteline Spitfire.

                  Yes, but notice their 'sale price' for the P 40 is what the original price was.
                  The P 40 is a great plane if you can still pick one up for the original price, but after seeing the P 38 fly at Nefi, Lon and Ryan both had theirs, I'd seriously look at that. Counter rotating props and tricycle landing gear take away a lot of the pain of flying a warbird.
                  Lon has the F 86 as well and basically, they are his go to birds now.
                  He likes the P 38 so much he has two now, can't get a better recommendation than that.
                  Personally, I'm with Bryan and Charlie, I'm boycotting FMS. I'll stick to FlightLine and Freewing going forward.

                      What was the original price on the P-40 ?

                      maybe if I see the P-38 in person I might like it more, everytime I see it in a video it looks like a spaceship

                          I paid $349.99, I see Motion had them on for $329, you might want to scoop that while you can.
                          Up to you.
