Default Top Flite P-40 - Things to avoid

Greg, I agree about the smooth landings. I use about 40 degrees of flap, keep a fair amount of power on and fly it right to the runway. If you are patient you can absolutely "grease" it on. I also agree that with full flaps it feels like it wants to come to a dead stop.
Don't ask me how I know, but it will tip stall if you get it really slow, even with full flaps. I probably should confine my control to rudder if it gets a bit slow. Mine seems sluggish on aileron and very sensitive on rudder.
