WW1 Electric
Looking for a 60"-65" WW1 ARF, only one I see is the Hanger 9 D-7, would prefer an Allies airplane, Nieuport 28 or SE-5, any suggestions?

RE: WW1 Electric
I got this great Nieuport 17 from 3Seabees models http://www.3seabees.com/
I also had a H9 Sopwith (sold it) and just purchased a H9 D7. WW1 planes are a handfull to fly, but beautiful in the air. My Nieuport needs constant adjustment of the flight wires to keep things aligned. The Sopwith did too. The D7 doesn't have wires so I am hoping it will be less maintenance for my ground crew
The Nieuport has a full figure pilot with a moving hand on the stick that is linked to the elevator. It also has a full instrument panel and cockpit. Not easy to land or take off, but very fun to fly around.
