Status: offline 		Here's my experience and opinion for what its worth, The P-51 and Spitfire are similar land based, low wing airframe designs. Given equal scale, size, weight, and power, etc. they will handle pretty close the the same. The likely reason the Corsair "stands out" to you is probably the "gull wing" airframe, designed for aircraft carrier service. The purpose of the "gull wing" was to raise the fusalage a little so the very large prop would clear the deck of the carrier during landings. In the RC world, given the same "scale, power, etc " as the p51, the Corsair has a shorter wing span and shorter fusalage that usually equates to a little more speed, a little quicker response in rolls and turns, and a little higher "stall speed", which means it needs to land a little faster. Hope this helps!

Status: offline 		Tim,
Thanks again for your help. I hate to be picky, but I just don't like the style of that plane. I am really looking more for something like the Mustang or similiar.

Hugger, thanks, that is exactly the info I was looking for. I will probably go for the planes that don't land that hot.

I haven't had time to build or fly anything in ages: we moved back in Aug, trip to China in Nov, then the holidays, etc.
Only thing I've been flying is this:

http://toucharcade.com/2008/09/15/flight-simulator-x-plane-9-from-laminar-research/

It's a flight sim for the iPhone or iPod Touch! It's amazingly good for a sim that runs in such a small device. If you have either device, it's ten bucks WELL spent.

Hopefully in the spring, I'll get back a bit into RC.

Status: offline 		Well, I just discovered the joys of winter flight in MN. I finally collected all my Slow Stick bits and pieces from around my room and put them togther into a working design. I got up this morning and prepared to go fly, for some reason forgetting that the daily high was only supposed to be like 10*F. I put on some nice, thick boots, a warm leather coat, and some useless gloves that served only to keep my fingers out of the cold. Then, upon getting my bike out of the garage, I found that my rear brake cable was frozen to the frame, rendering it useless. That's bad because it's downhill all the way to my park field and it's real icy out.

I survived the ride and got off the bike, walked down the big concrete steps, and placed the Stick on the snowy path/runway. After a quick range check and such I floored it and took off.

Well, the wind was a lot worse than I thought, especially at 300' up. I got 7:21 of flying done; about 1 minute of that was spent flying hold circles until the cars got off my landing strip (the street). That's unhelpful because they always stop for a minute to watch the airplane and wonder why it's going in circles . I finally got the thing down and greased the landing like I do EVERY TIME, then decided my fingers were too close to permanent damage to continue flying so I packed up and hopped back on my bike.

I rode out into the street because the sidewalks were too icy to ride on. Well, I ride several miles every day in the summer and I know very well my limitations as well as the limitations and customs of drivers sharing the road with bikers. There was a car pulling up to a stop sign about 300' away. I was already moving along good so I just eased off to the side a little more to let the guy pass when he got closer. Well, what's he do? Now, remember: This guy is going MAYBE 15mph because of the snow and ice on the road. There's no reason for him to honk at me, so I'm not expecting it. I'm carrying a plane in one hand, my fingers are freezing on both hands, it would take only a lttle push to knock me off the bike in that state. I very nearly fell off because I got startled by the horn. If anyone is going to be foolish enough to add an unnecessary negative influence to somone who is already in a difficult position, they should some help or have someone else drive.

All in all a trip that was more trouble than it was worth for the amount of flight time I got. Of course, it's still fun to watch the looks on neighbors' faces when I go riding by in the dead of winter carrying an airplane

Status: offline 		Yeah I flew one of those pizza box planes its ok but they are hard to keep under control they roll too easy when you dont want them too. and the crashes are ugly usually trash the engine when they go down hard.

Status: offline 		Well, I keep crashing straight down going real fast and no damage has yet befallen on my motor or prop. I like this little thing. I was flying in the street in front of my house and I was able to keep the thing in the intersection with little difficulty. I agree with you o the rolling thing but I've increased the size of my rudder and added two more vertical stabs on the sides of the fuse to help this. I haven't had a chance to try them yet. I'm having no difficulty controlling mine, even though my radio only has v-tail mixing. This means my ailerons and rudder are switched around. Tricky but manageable.

Temps here are supposedly warming up, but until we hit 0 degrees F or so it's all relative... It's been in the -20's for about a week so flying has been limited. Oh well.... I got gloves, a nice coat, and 14 years of dealing with this cold. I'm only concerned about my lipo and the foam airframe freezing up and getting wrecked, and the fact thatit's just windy enough to make flying difficult. I WAS, however, treated to a nice surprise earlier: The PBF was dialed in and flying perfectly straight on takeoff, with no adjustments needed. This was good because gloved fingers and trims don't mix well

I'm shocked to have found a plane more snappy than my Yak, and I'm going to do something great for my next flat foamie: I'm gonna take the Yak's exact measurements and build them in flat foam so the resulting plane has the same WS, length, chord, control surface area, etc. but it'll be made of blank, flat sheets of foam. maybe it'll work, maybe not. If I've learned anything from flat foamies, it's that as long as you have a good CoG and light enough wing loading, they fly 34"x10" foam board in 3mm and 5mm thicknesses is available at my hobby shop for $3 a sheet, so I'm going to bum some money off my parents and stock up next time I'm there
