I saw a couple guys fooling with F5b ships and thought I might like to try one myself. True competitive machines were pricey so I settled for an introductory model called the Hawk F5B with an older Hacker carbon motor and gearbox turning a 17 X 15 carbon prop. The dang thing is so thin it disappears in 5 seconds straight up. Needs tones of room to fly and bleed off airspeed to land. A dang jet is easier to fly at least its big enough to see at distance. Both get there awful fast. Decided it wasn’t the most relaxing way to fly. The introductory model is enough excitement for me LOL.
