RE: VQ ARFS
I have the VQ Zero. It's pretty good quality for an ARF. I strengthened the wing center joint with some fiberglass cloth and epoxy. I glued some strips of 1/8" plywood to the underside of the horizontal stab because it seemed a little weak.
Mine has a Magnum .61 two stroke and it flies great! Goes like a rocket but still handles well at slow speed. My only real problem is that the plastic parts are starting to crack (I've been flying it for about a year).
If you want info about the P-38, look in the Twin Aircraft forum. Lot of good info there.
