RE: Micro-Flite. What's the Beef?
I think the ability to throttle a small engine is highly over rated. The models' speed difference throughout the usable rpm range doesn't [for me] justify the compromised high speed performance, and having landing gear on a 1/2A plane does nothing but add to mediocre performance also. I guess if all you are after is something that just flubs around with "scale like" performance , then 1/8th A with throttle is OK, but I would rather just watch paint dry.
