Some war planes can bite you. 15 years ago MOST would. They need to be flown at speed and if your first instinct is to slow down that can make things worse. There have been some good looking foam electrics that instilled confidence - but the FW from Parkzone does not appear to be a sheep in Wulf's clothing. One of our members - an experienced pilot - cartwheeled his on the maiden. His reaction was that he'd become complacient with the electrics he'd been flying.

As you say - a lot can come at you all at once. Nothing spoils your day worse than a low speed stall except a high speed stall.
