Also do not be scared of the 8 pitches. If you have a lot of air for approaches and a nice and long runway to land on then you are fine with the 8 pitch. I just could not slow mine down enough the way our flying field was and I was always landing it in the grass or forcing it down on the runway. So a 6 pitch is good for someone with not a lot of room to land or someone that is not good with landing hot planes or a combination of the two
