KFalcon.
I have not had time to match the model against a decent 3 view but I can say that that wings look to be in scale. There was one slight problem with the canopy frame being too thick but I have spoken to the factory about this and they have already fixed this. Also I though my oleo did not crank back enough for scale look so the latest legs have been machined to allow more movement. Little things they are but skymaster seem very keen to get these right before they release the model.

Tams advice is spot on. I am sure this model is fine without flaps but this option makes it so much more manageable. With the extra drag landing distances are a lot easier to judge. I would go for aileron and flap every time on the F-18
