Default RE: FALCON OR TURBINATOR

I can't speak on the Falcon but can tell you that the Turbinator is a great honest plane that will just about walk at landing speed with 60 degrees of flap and a little crow. Anyone who has seen mine fly always asks do you even use the brakes? My answer is usually no, unless we are on pavement to taxi. I never use the brakes on grass fields which is where I fly the most. A P-80 -100 for power would be just about right. My std one has a P-120 and it will go like stink unless you watch the power on level passes. I have been working on a 125% enlarged one for about a year with taking the summer and most of this fall off due to work.
