I'm still not sure what to do with this airplane. It's an Ultrafly FW-190 ARF, with a few dozen hours worth of scale detail work put into it. I can't take credit for it; the scale detailing was all done by my friend Emmett Hall. This is his first scale job O_o. Yeah, he's good.

I was very gung ho about scale warbirds back when we started this project, but then became very interested in aerobatics/3D (and still am). Plus, flying this model would feel weird, as I'd feel I have to be VERY careful with it so as not to damage it. It's a truly beautiful model, and it would be VERY easy for me to stage pictures where you literally wouldn't be able to tell if it was a model or a real airplane. So, I decided to sell or trade it to someone who would fly it like it deserved to be flown, or use it as a static display.

I have it listed for sale/trade on RCGroups, actually. There's not a lot of interest, of course, since this is essentially a $100 ARF airplane...with a few hundred dollars worth of labor put into it. So I'm considering keeping it and putting it into the air...
