Here are my review notes for this Durafly Warbird:

Pros:
- Beautiful paint job
- Rock solid build
- Nice landing skids
- Handy grip for easy hand launches
- It uses common 2200 3S pack and even 30C is plenty of power
- Comes with an FPV tray for FPV Warbird fun!
- Assembly is not too complicated
- Ball Link connectors
- It looks and flies very much like the Parkzone Wildcat, only it is much faster!

Cons:
- A little glue is required, which may be a con for some.

Overall, I am absolutely pumped after flying this! :D

I have been very happy with my most recent HobbyKing RC Planes. Those include this one, the Avios Spitfire MkVb Super Scale 1450mm RC Warbird, and the Durafly Seafire MkIIB RC Warbird.

This is how HobbyKing describes this WW2 Warbird RC Plane:

"The engineers at Durafly have come out with another easy to fly hand launcher, the Durafly Brewster F2A Buffalo. Prior to World War II the US Navy was looking for a monoplane to fly off their aircraft carriers and the Buffalo was the winner. The Durafly Buffalo comes in two stylish color schemes. The easy to see US Navy pre-war colors and the more “navelised”, early WWII US Navy colors.

As it turned out the Buffalo was no match for the Japanese Zero and Oscars but did perform well for the Finnish Air Force against the Soviets.

This is a superbly finished model made from tough EPO foam and molded plastic fittings. Stickers are pre-applied and it also comes with a realist scale pilot. The motor and ESC are already fitted. There is some building to do but everything fits easily together. As with other Durafly products all control surfaces have ball links for more precise flying.

The Brewster Buffalo starts flying with an easy hand launch. With the power to burn it will easily perform loops and rolls with a few Immelmann’s thrown in.

Here is some more Brewster Buffalo information:

"The Brewster F2A Buffalo is an American fighter aircraft which saw service early in World War II. Designed and built by the Brewster Aeronautical Corporation, it was one of the first U.S. monoplanes with an arrestor hook and other modifications for aircraft carriers. The Buffalo won a competition against the Grumman F4F Wildcat in 1939 to become the U.S. Navy's first monoplane fighter aircraft. Although superior to the Grumman F3F biplane it replaced and the early F4Fs, the Buffalo was largely obsolete when the United States entered the war, being unstable and overweight, especially when compared to the Japanese Mitsubishi A6M Zero."

For a different fixed wing experience, I have been enjoying my H-King Paramotor or Hobbyking PPG and 6S EDF Jets like my E-flite Viper and Freewing F-35 Lightning II V3. I will be adding more fun stuff including the E-flite Su-30 Twin 70mm EDF Jet or the new Freewing AL37 Airliner Twin 70mm EDF Jet from Motion RC.
