Though I havent flown the VMAR mustang I have flown other VMAR aircraft and other Mustangs. VMAR products seem to be pretty good products. They fly a lot more like the airplane of yesterday (no huge control surfaces, landing a little hotter, etc.) I flew their sporty 40 this past weekend for a guy and it seemed to handle nicely, this airplane looks just like a mustang (except for the rudder and the wing is more like a four stars). In general I would say if all you have had is a trainer then a mustang might be aiming a little too high. True scale mustangs are generally a handfull on takeoff and a handfull to land (for someone only flying a trainer). If you want a plane that sort of looks like a mustang but flies much better then get the fun fly mustang (I think thunder tiger puts it out????) I have seen these fly and they will cut up nicely, but with the rates turned down low they handle a lot like a trainer.
