RE: Kingcat vs Hustler.
I dont really mind saying what i saw. My friend had to land gear up, loss of air pressure. The engine being angled the way it is caused his engine case to be really messed up (dented and scratched bad). I guess if you choose the one aircraft (with the thrust angle), since we are being discrete, i guess you better hope you dont have to land gear up.
The one aircraft has skin hinging on all flight surfaces, at least on the rudders this skin has binded no less than 3 thimes causing stripped gears in the servos. The hustler uses large robart control point hinges, very nice installation indeed.
This person who said that the modeler is the one to ensure a design is fit for flight is IMO way off. It doesnt matter if its a CRJ or a avistar, it is up to the manufacturer to design and supply an airworthy aircraft. ESPECIALLY IN THE DAY OF ARFS. I would never fly a real aircraft again if they told me i was the test rat that was going to make sure it was ok to fly. Just my opinion.
