Default Sureflight P-39...

Hello all this is my very first post here. I've been flying R/C since I was little with my father and now have picked the hobby back up after a few years. It's funny though I can do lots of cool manuvers that my father taught me on his Sig Kobra, but he was always to paranoid to let me land so I'm still working on that lol. Also I'm new to ARF and have nothing against them but looks like I'm gonna win an auction for a Sureflight P-39 Airocobra. So I have a few questions about them and some general questions. I'm currently flying a Sig Kavalier (that took forever to build lol) but I have no experience with gas powered foam airplanes. I know people have converted this plane to electric and had it fly nicely so I'm sure with a Magnum .40 XL it should have plenty of power. But does fuel eat foam? Nobody at my field fly's a foam plane so they don't know if it does but think it would. Well actually thats my only question unless somebody has already flown it and has more suggestions on things to do. I really want it to fly well because this has always been one of my favorite warbirds. Mainly because it's an oddity if you put it next to it's generational brothers the P-47, P-51, etc it's the only one thats not a taildragger. Which is good for me because I don't have any taildragger experience.
