Default RE: New Top Flite P-40 60 sized arf

Congrats on the maiden! As you probably know, the full scale was also prone to ground handling issues too....taxi and landings will take some getting used to but a small tail wheel, closer to the fuse, and larger main wheels will help a lot in the taxi as the fuse sits at a greater angle relative to the ground... this setup takes a lot more to bring the tail up and over. Good Oleo struts help ground handling too!
