Balsa/Ply Warbird
I am looking for a nice balsa/ply warbird kit, around a 42" wingspan max. I would prefer an ARF that already has the Ultracote on it, not something I have to iron on. Anyone know of one?

RE: Balsa/Ply Warbird
I recently bought an extra 330 model from peakmodel.com and was actually very impressed with the quality... I didn't know what to expect from a 50 dollar arf....
Haven't flown it yet due to the onset of winter but the construction looks to me as good as any other i've seen... they offer some warbirds but again I have no history with them to pass on first hand

I found a couple gas ones that could be converted, but somehow they are belly landers, no gear.

Try AK-Models. They have some smaller warbirds. What you are looking for as far as size,covering and landing gear under 3lbs that can fly with a 3s2100 cell is gonna be tough.
