RE: T-34 as a second plane
First of all, I love my H9 T-34. It has become my favorite plane. Very scale takeoffs, and the flight performance is great. It goes exactly where you point it. I would have to say it is an easy plane to fly, just don't get it too slow. When landing, it comes in hot...and you need to stay on it all the way in. I have a Saito 72 four stroke and robart retracts in mine, so it isn't as light as it could be. It will fly nice around 3/4 throttle....I usually fly the base leg at 1/2 cutting the throttle to 1/4. When I make the runway, I chop to idle. It will come right on in and settle for a pretty landing.
