RE: El Gringo
[:@] jeeeze guys I hate to start a firestorm but even full scale designers learn from others. I see no problem with that because it is a sign of respect for the other guy. A plane is a plane: wings, tail, airfoil etc. But many of a planes' appearances are simply cosmetic. A good looking plane with sleek proportional lines usually is a good flier. I love P-51's the El gringo is a pattern plane thaat looks a lot like that so I built it. Here's a flash: It does not fly as well as my SPA Phantom designed at about the same time though. I love to build and I love to fly what I build. This is a great hobby. I get a kick out the many different opinons of my fellow R/C ers. We are a group of very diverse and interesting backgrounds but not quiet "wall flowers" . Ha!!
