A good 50cc warbird will fly just like a pattern ship in the air but a little trickier to land! I would not suggest referring to any warbird as being ''lame''! You may just strike up another war.

Wow where did this come from? All the warbirds I have ever flown have wicked control cross coupling. It's all that dihedrial and high mounted stabs....................
A Warbird and a pattern ship have one thing in common. You must build them right in order for them to fly right but each requires different setups.

I will agree that there is a lot to do with the warbird subject chosen as to what flying characteristics it will have. Some warbirds are a handfull. Especially those with a short nose moment.
