kits.The Cessna 170,the Bird Dog,and the Skyraider.

Thanks John.Looks like this forum is a great place to
see how-to info on building & covering.

Hi Xanadu,
I'm in Ontario(Niagara Region).I want to put the Sea Fury in
1950's Royal Canadian Navy markings,HMCS Magnificent.

Welcome Scott. Models and RC go together well. I like building them to fly RC even if I never get them out of the house. Just the engineer in me I guess.

Hi Scott,

The guillows kits are fine, just throw the balsa away and carry on!

Serious if you want to make them fly you've got to be in for remaking the odd part or sheet of parts out of new decent wood, the thing is the kits have so much else going for them especially the simple to build designs and the value for money.......

I'd go for the bird-dog first, you'd have to do pretty badly not to get a floater even with heavy-ish kit wood.

Good luck

Andrew

Hi dbcisco,
Thanks for the welcome.I checked out a Youtube video of an
RC Guillow's Cessna 170 flying,pretty neat looking plane.
