Default RE: WorldModel GS Spitfire...how does it fly

I have the WM GS mustang with a Moki 210, probally pretty similar performace. This will be my season # 3 with the plane. I have found the APC 18x12 prop to be the best combo for my mustang, lots of speed and great thrust. One warning, If you are flying on a calm day I would suggest landing with flaps and dail in about 6% down elevator with them, my first landing was without flaps and the mustang did a sudden snap about 1 ft off of the ground without warning at all, since then I have always used flaps for landings and have not had the plane snap on me again. Other than that if you fly off of a grass runway you may want to hold down a little more up elevator than normal, seems mine will like to tip over in the grass fairly easily with the stock gear, sometimes it seems that it lifts off a little too early while holding in the down elevator but the moki has enough power to overcome an underspeed takeoff.
Best of Luck let us know how it comes out.
