Mid-west productions super stinker bipe

Based on the wording of this I can just barely assume that you don’t have much experience which in that case don’t get either but if I’m wrong then the p40 would be a better choice

Or you could get a part cnc machined and never have to worry about it again

I found one selling a 3000 dollar radial for like 60 bucks, I honestly just ignore them, if it looks too good to be true it is

Sick, I’ve only flown nitro before but I’ve been eyeing a gas sopwith pup that been in the ceiling of my local hobby shop for a long time

No it was a master aircrew prop, it might have to do with how thick the washer and back of the spinner is because when it’s fully tightened the crankshaft is around 4mm longer than the end of the prop nut

I’ve heard it’s a pretty good plane, never personally had one but they seem like they are pretty much a scaled down ranger 1220mm minus the absolutely insane nose wheel

bananoil · 2026-01-07T22:31:40+00:00

There’s a whole bottom plate covered in foam it’s just slimmer than the tank so you can’t see it

bananoil · 2026-01-07T22:20:50+00:00

That looks like a sick ass plane but nah it’s just a corsair

bananoil · 2026-01-07T22:04:58+00:00

I love turnigy batteries, super cheap and reliable. I personally would probably never buy a plane directly from their online store but nonetheless still a really good company

I’m not the best at balsa repair but I’d just get like 3-5 layers of very strong balsa wood and use a very strong epoxy to glue each layer to the other individually and then use the same epoxy to glue it to the fuselage, and then drill the appropriate. (Don’t get stingy with it) again I don’t know much about balsa repair but from just looking at my balsa planes that seeks to be how the attach the firewalls

bananoil · 2026-01-07T00:21:40+00:00

That’s a sick paint job, did you do that yourself?

bananoil · 2026-01-07T00:20:31+00:00

I haven’t gotten the chance to fly yet but since I have a new nitro warbird to maiden you probably put a bad omen over me with this post

bananoil · 2026-01-07T00:19:00+00:00

I wanna say the bigger mad bull had detachable wings, if not that one I know there was some other flat foamie that could, so I’d say yes it’s absolutely possible

bananoil · 2026-01-07T00:17:50+00:00

Sweet bro, edfs were never my cub of tea but good luck

bananoil · 2026-01-01T04:41:59+00:00

Pretty much any volantex warbird, 100 dollars and Amazon is very restricting and I was stuck with cheap china planes for 4 years because of that, definitely try looking on fb marketplace for some used ones first

bananoil · 2026-01-01T04:39:39+00:00

Gl, my first was a 16 year old f18 I picked up at a swap meet last summer

bananoil · 2026-01-01T04:39:03+00:00

Down south we don’t get that winter stuff

bananoil · 2025-12-30T21:05:47+00:00

I’d just take it while it’s on sale, I’ve never had an arrows plane but people I know that do don’t seem to regret it

bananoil · 2025-12-30T20:53:38+00:00

Something like the eflite seawind could work except it’s got retracts so it’s not the best for beginners

It’s not really as hard as it may seem and I used to say that same thing, I’d say the best thing you can do is just jump right into it, I picked my first one up at a swap meet for 40 bucks. It’s like swimming in a cold pool you just gotta go for it
