Default RE: 1/8th Airforce Airshow

Scale airplanes are much harder to land (in most cases) than aerobatic or sport aircraft, due to hi wing loadings. The stall speed is high so if you get a little slow they tend to drop on the runway causing a bounce. Most any pilot can fly a warbird, but landing is an art all it's own. It takes a good pilot to get one down every time with out bouncing or scraping a wingtip. Even the best will occationally bounce one.
