Istarted a trhead RE breaking in the DLE and got a lot of RTFT, the one with 192 pages. Well Idid start reading it, but after 5 pages of Iwant one, when can Iget one and other crap I gave up. I did get the answers Ineeded though, which has led me to post this thread for an alternate plane to start out with.

Ihave an Apprentice and Eflite T-34 Mentor that Ifly now, but like I mentioned above, they are Electric, with instant power, where the Gas or Glow will have a second or two delay, which can be the difference between escape or a crash. My weak spot is still landing. So having a plane that is easy to land to get the feel for the gas engine would be the best way to go before Iput it in the P-51 and maiden her. Especially since I am going all scale with it, with full retracts and sequenced wheel doors. Ilove building planes, love flying them too, but also very cautious with flying a new plane, and will be until I can get the landings down perfect every time. When I get it lined up correctly, they land very soft, but the lining up is where Iam having problems. The other difference is both my planes are tri gears, Ihavent flown a tail dragger yet except on a sim.
