I like 1/5th scale World War One and general aviation airplanes. Reasons I like this size, are; you can use the medium sized glow engines, .90 to 1.25 sized 4 strokes, .60 to .90 sized 2 strokes, the small gas engines or electric set-ups that don't require a 2nd on the home mortgage. Also, you can use standard sized servos. This size is big enough that the models still have "Presence"; but, are small enough to allow fairly easy transport.

A problem with 1/5th scale is the lack of detail parts. Would you be interested in machine guns, wheels, engines cylinders and other detail parts for this size, if they were offered?
