The wings are clipped with very short ailerons like the real airplane. The airplanes REQUIRE good rudder control with such small ailerons. Many adventurous flights with them including dead sticks from lost spinners and loose spark plug wires. Still got both but will not fly them again. Just looking for more relaxing fun with the Balsa USA Phaeton 90 for now.
