The P.15 needs a good toss at high throttle or it'll auger itself into the ground. Once in the air, even at lower throttle, it's still quite fast. I don't think you want a really fast EDF in a park. The small 64mm Panther, with its stubby little wings may be hard to get into the air without drama. It can fly pretty fast, too. Did you mean F-85? It's a goofy looking little plane that was carried under the belly of a big transport plane and launched by letting it drop. Or did you mean the F-86 Sabre? I've seen many of these in 64mm and smaller and they are underpowered and also hard to launch because they just don't have sufficient power to get flying unless you throw them hard like a football and that can cause them to roll into the dirt. The bigger ones (70mm+) have retracts and they don't like grass - again not suitable for a park.
Don't let "park flyer" fool you. It doesn't mean you can fly them in a park. Many local, state and federal regulations will forbid you from flying most RC planes in a "park". There may be exemptions for an RC aircraft under 250 grams.
