I agree with SquirrelTail...its hard to beat the FT Spitfire (or the FT P-40) as a warbird trainer. Yes, the Stuka does fly slowly, which gives a ton of time to make adjustments during takeoff & landing, but it's not terribly maneuverable and wouldn't be good for upping your acrobatic skills. The recommended 2218 1180kV motor (the C Pack one) has to work pretty hard for a plane of this size and weight. Flying it is more like driving an antique car around town- lots of low and slow cruising due to all that drag on the airframe.
