Default RE: F-20 have washout?

HI Guys

I had this plane for 3 years and she was a blast to fly. I sold her to a buddy that still Alys her to this day.

I never did stall her and my feeling is she doesn't have washout. The best way to land her is get a bit low on approach and drag her in with power. The key is power control ur rate of descent with the throttle and speed with your pitch mine was anywhere from 5 to 10 degrees nose up on approach be careful not to use more u might hit that long tail.

I flew this plane at full power continuously regardless of where the nose was pointed she never fluttered or had any bad tendencies. My control hinges were all sealed as were my landing gear openings with doors.

She is a great practice bird for getting into Turbines.

Hope this helps U
Ian
