Default Thinking About Getting Into Extreme Speed Prop Planes

I would say go for it with the speed planes. It is not a big deal going fast if you use your throttle. Just get used to it about half or so then hit it WOT on some flat passes. Back off and do again. After a while you will be able to hold it WOT the whole flight.

I found it is not as hard to fly as it looks if you was sitting back watching. When I fly my Dust around you I kind of get a box view on it. Kind of like you see the plane and a small area (box) around it. You cant really tell how fast your going past everything because you are focused on plane.

Now the guys behind watching swear it is uncontrollable but when flying it is not hard at all. Just fly around like a normal plane. Just keep in mind that you can cover the entire field in a few seconds. It pretty much comes down to go fast turn.... go fast turn....go fast turn..... gets routine but looks good burning holes in sky...
