Thanks guys, the Dynam WACO is my all around favorite plane. Like I said, others take the lime light when they are new and exciting, but I always end up going back to the WACOs. Both of mine are wrapped with Oracal vinyl, one to replicate a PT-14 and the other wears the Pepsi scheme that was on a Travel Air bipe that was famous for sky writing up into the 70s.

So what is everyone else's favorite? Not necessarily your hot plane at the moment, but what is your "go to" plane when you just want to enjoy flying RC?

That Pepsi scheme is gorgeous! I've not owned a bipe yet. you may have inspired me.

Hi guys

I have to say for myself the best plane I like is the stinger90 and the E-flite carbon T-28. Both are fun to fly

For prop jobs, my go to planes are my "condiments"- the RocHobby F2G Super Corsair (ketchup), and the RocHobby P-39 Cobra II -(mustard). Flying these planes is like putting on my favorite sneakers. Edf, I love my Freewing Stinger 64hp. Fast, fun and durable. Makes me smile everytime! I like these three because I can put them in any car I have without a fuss and off to the field. The Me262 is also a real kick as well. T-CAT says I'll throw 'em all away when I fly the Stinger 90. ;) As far as a kit I'd like to see, an F-8 Crusader would be cool, and of course an SR-71 would be the coolest!

This is a little tough to answer. I want to say that my FLRC P-38 is my favorite, but I'm always stressed when I fly it. I'm not sure why, maybe it's because that it's so slender and fast (relatively speaking) that it takes every ounce of concentration. I know that the guys at the field love for me to fly, and that certainly makes me want to fly it. But, after flying and landing it, I feel mentally drained.

Honestly, I think that the EFlight P-47D is my favorite to fly. Why???
- It's really easy to fly. It's very well behaved and stable. I can fly it and carry on a conversation and don't have to give it my undivided attention.
- It has a beautiful presence in the sky. The paint scheme is fabulous.
- The 'fatness' of it makes it very easy to see.
- I've upgraded to a bigger (Extra 300) prop, and it now has a nice top-end speed, without being just crazy fast.
- With the AS3X, it is very forgiving of mistakes. Several times, I've jumped into the air too quickly, and the P-47 simply climbed on out, completely forgiving me of a mistake that would've crashed most other warbirds.

I usually will fly this plane 4 or 5 times, while flying my other planes only once or twice. I guess the reason that I like it so much is that it looks good, handles well, and is totally stress-free to fly and land.

I think that this onboard video footage shows how much fun it is to fly: https://youtu.be/_9x3zrAoftw
