That is the whole point if you have the replica then it can be flown hard and fast and if you get cracked up not as bad as loosing say a 60 year old Spifire that flew 100 combat missions.
My real dream would be to build a bomber, but I will stick to the RC plance for that.
CC: what plane is that in your Sig? is it a Yak-7? Hitting what?
