I've gotten so used to watching models fly that I guess I just accept the speed most model Mustangs fly like as the norm. I wasn't really talking about scale speed in my earlier post, but that the airplane has the same general pitch and roll response, and for instance the stall recovery is like the full scale. Its hard to describe, but I know what a full scale Cub flies like because I have a fair bit of time in them, and when I set up my 1/6 scale Cub as I described it seems very similar to me, much more satisfying to fly for me than one with heavy airframe extremities. If the wind comes up it needs to be ballasted, but then when the gust spread was above 15 knots I didn't much care to go fly my "real" Cub.

I used to have a Hangar 9 1.20 size Mustang, and it bothered me because when I pointed the nose down it didn't feel as "slippery" as a clean airplane like a Mustang should feel. Too much drag in that fat wing, I guess. It was a great flying model, it just wasn't a great Mustang model in my hands. What other people want in a model is up to them, I guess, and that's fine with me.
