yup, but it still requires a boot full of rudder to minimize the sideslip. remember this plane doesn't like yaw. I've got a wicked smart video of what I'm talking about.

in addition, despite all those ponies coming out the back certain configurations and fuel states (full bag, 4 pylons lots of drag etc) it won't hold altitude no matter how much you pull on the elevator until you "adjust gross weight" we don't have that luxury in R/C.

happy to help in any way I can. the hydros are a no brainer and despite leaking ever so slightly they are worth the effort.

you want to talk about scale presence? ever not see a puddle of fluid under a BUG?

matt's got a valid point. build it light to make weight and you're gonna rip the wings off. build it stout and you can kiss any AMA field adios. just a thought.
