Would anyone like to let me know of a 50cc ARF that IS NOT a Yak, Extra, Edge, etc. I'm looking for a civilian sport scale or warbird, other than a P-51. Seems like there are very few 50cc ARFs other than the 3D birds. Thanks.

GSP makes some big scale warbirds. I would guess they are made for more of the 62 size motor, however most of the modern 50's should work well.

Hanger9. (Horizon) will be releasing a super nice looking P-47 Razorback in Feb. 2006. I can't wait to get mine. It has an 80.5"
WS. I plan on putting an MVVS 45MG in mine if the cowl will accept it.

Both of the planes/companies mentioned are 1.20 size planes (1.50 in the P-47 case). GSP has nothing "advertized" to take a 50cc engine.

I'm going by weight and wiing span. I think that the hanger9 P-47 will be OK for a 50cc size engine, because it has a rather large cowl, and a long Fuse.

Thanks, Bob, I had looked at it and it has potential.

just how much of an ARF are you looking for? Yellow Aircratf makes a bunch of great 50 size planes.

The World Models Zero GS 80"ws ARF is an exellent warbird for a 40-62cc engine. This plane flies easily and only needs a good retract upgrade. Flying mine with a BME 44 with Spring -Air retracts and Robart Struts. Still holding up well and starting it's third flying season. See my gallery for pictures. Paul

This plane would fly very well with a 50cc engine.

I know that you asked for an ARF--but Top Flite still makes some pretty cool kits for old warbirds in GS size. You'll just have to build it. The F4U Corsair and the P-47 Jug come to mind.

I thought that H9 95" Giant Cessna would heva been a good candidate for a 40-50cc gasser. Probably overpowered--but thats okay. It's currently out of production untill late spring 2006.

I had forgotten about Yellow Aircraft; but have decided on the new Hanger 9 80" P-47. Pre-ordered it yesterday.

rcpilet, I built the Kangke Laser 2000, and I was so impressed with the quality of the Kangke kit, I ordered one of their WACO Bipes from Chief' Aircraft yesterday. Have you had any experience with the Waco? I'm planning on useing an MVVS 45 MG for the engine.

Haven't flown the Waco.

I'm on my second Laser 2000. I really like the way this plane flies. Haven't actually put the second one together yet--but I did replace the first one within a week after finding the expiration date.[sm=bananahead.gif]

On my Laser 2000 it was built to the point of almost over-glu. I was blown away by the quality of the kit. Bob
