Default RE: 2nd plane

I had a Four Star 40 that was anything but tame. If you set the CG correctly, put the right amount of throw in control surfaces, and add the right amount of power, well, it will be as wild as many 3D plane can be... and with that said, the same is true if you want it to be tame.... and the same is pretty true for may airframes that could be touted as tame or radical.

There is a 3D plane that many talk about that they say, when tamed down, will make a good trainer. This is also true, but many 3D planes are light weight and therefore are more fragile than a good trainer, but that's not the point, here, what I am trying to say is that you can make many airframes be either tame or radical depending on the way it is set up and powered.
