Looks like a pretty nice AT-6, or SNJ or Harvard, or Whirraway.
Depends on which country you associate the plane with. Interesting tidbit, the Australians even used it as a fighter against the Zeros, which is somewhat ironic as it was used extensively by the movie industry to portray a Zero.

Rather peculiar offering from E-Flite. It was not just that long ago that Freewing discontinued their 1450mm AT-6 for no apparent reason.
The ones I saw were good fliers powered by 4S. The only reason I can imagine for the shut down by FW is because they were not a huge market share.
They were also not Newb RC warbird pilot friendly due to the tip stall characteristic design of the AT-6 wing which was very similar to the full size.
Be interesting to see how this E-flite at same size will do on 3S.Warbird Charlie

I'll be doing this one as well. It has more true to scale lines and proportions than the Freewing version which I have as well. I'm looking forward to enjoying it being the same size with a lighter loading and split flaps. Lights and total repaint in order. Callie already has this scheme on file. I asked for it two years ago when I did the Freewing version.

I remember it well, and it does look like a handful.
Hippie 64 (Bryan) had one too, I remember he had some 'fun' with it as well.

I would likely had my hands full with an erratic flying plane if it had not been for RC Informer. The RC Informer build videos were excellent, especially when they contained important information.

My favorite warbird! I have one on the way from Motion RC. On my first trip to Oshkosh Air Venture many years ago I was astounded to see a gigantic flight of Texans and I have been hooked ever since. I have flown the Top Flite AT6, Midwest AT6, and Ziroli AT6. I'm looking forward to many flights on this plane when the spring thaw come to Minnesota!
