I have no reasopn to make up stories. I fly from a dry lake bed outside of Yermo, Ca. The surface temperature can reach over 120 degress F during the late morning hours. My FW190 felt like it was on fire to the touch after one hour in the sun. The aft portion of the fuselage felt soft to the touch. You have to remember once the wing is attached its interior becomes like an oven. The Hurricane I have now will act the same way if left out in direct sunlight. If you want an ARF well built and flies well go research BH Models sold by Hobby People. I have their large scale AT-6 and it flies like a trainer at twelve pounds. Wing loading is the key for success when flying any type of scale model. Don't pick a model because it looks pretty. Research the airfoils and moment lengths. Another model source is those sold by Great Planes or Aeroworks. ESM models look great but remember looks are deceiving. There models, ESM, are not weekend flyers because they are demanding to fly in a realisitic manner. I personnaly would stay away from there line of products.
