$150 for a pair? Holy smokes. Are the wheels it comes with just garbage?

Not garbage just don't really do the plane justice. This is such a nice warbird that she needed better looking shoes.

Was thinking about picking up one of these:

Can anyone comment on the quality?? Plus not sure if I feel safe cutting the figure in half to make him fit in the cockpit, I may just get one of the plaster busts and paint it.

Warbird pilots are good quality and pretty easy to customize as needed. I've used several from 1/5 to 1/3 size.

Shipment was delayed a day. Crap.

Sorry, I'll have to check for that manual tomorrow.

I also had the BH Spitfire, here is a video of me.

That thing settles in real nice and slow on the landing. I'm looking forward to this plane.

What is your power set up?

[downwind3zero]

No manual in my box either.

[jasmiller]

Tail wheel assembly is super easy. Run the pull pull wire thru first, connect and then attach tailwheel.

Yes she flies very easy and the landing is a dream, the Setup was Scorpion 5535 190kv on 10S, Prop 22X10. Landing Gear was from Lado RS 333 95°. The CG was 10mm more Forward.

I was hoping you would say that it was a 160 size motor, which is what I'm going with for now. It's a 2,700 watt motor, which does sit within the recommended range. I am concerned about being underpowered, but we'll see how it goes.

RAF showed up today from Warbird Pilots

[Aros]

Love my Warbird Pilots...Great quality/options...

[Cfreuen20]

My kit arrived in good condition. Upon initial inspection, everything looks good, this thing is definitely a looker. The surface detail is impressive.

I have bad news folks, mine didn't include a manual either.

My pleasure fellow Washingtonian!

My pleasure fellow Washingtonian!

There is only one place on Earth I have consistently liked better than the PNW, but that's Italy and I don't think I could ever find a good job there

What's your flying weight with this setup?

Also, are newer versions of this plane coming out lighter?
