fw-190A coming in 2012. One of the more scale looking r/c planes i've seen. 550mm wingspan would make it 1/19, so a bit small but the only game in town except for skywrecks.

OK that looks awesome..."whats almost ready to fly" mean? Thats what it says in the headline. Is this something a beginner can fly or a bad idea? I would like to get one.

Means it's missing some critical components. Remote, servos, battery, ect. Like the name says, ALMOST ready to fly.

RTF is ready to fly, but be warned, I dislike stuff from nitroplanes, hobby king, ect. Mostly cheap garbage for RC flying. :x

Also, RTF is not always the best way to get into the RC hobby. ;) If you want help getting started, just PM Me.

Here is a very nice P-40E. 1/17.9 scale. Flying Tiger markings (post AVG). Detailing is very nice on this, including fabric simulation on the control surfaces. It looks like a model; even has a display stand.

http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/stor ... _PNF_.html

wait a few minutes before ordering and a pop up window will appear offering it for $71.96

Saab Grippen. Almost exactly 1/18. A hair short in length and a hair too spanny.

that ju-52 is actually about 1/24. It has a 4 foot span and the real plane's was around 94 feet. It's too bad because it has a nice simulated corrugation to it.

the grippen is made by J-power in their Sky Angel line.

not sure if the site works or not but that ju-52 is nearly 1/24. Maybe you mixed up feet and inches when you did your calc?
