me and a few guy's do some club style combat. myself and one other fly slashers, good all around sport/combat plane IMHO.

How does that style of plane fly?
it fly's great for combat and sport type flying... Knife edge sucks though

Are they touchy?
it's not touchy at all... feed in enough elevator it will snap out on ya but so will any other plane.

Is there any hands off stability?
once trimmed it will fly hands off no problem... kinda hard to get kill's hands off though

Do they float in to land?
more than I like! nice low and slow approach, kill power at around 75-100 yards out and the damn thing still floats past me sometimes.

Spad versus Slasher?
my 4lb spad Debut flew like a BRICK compared to my slasher, it's still collecting dust somewhere.

Are the slasher type planes just as tough?
YES... mine has seen 3 mid-air's so far, the Balsa combat plane I hit BLEW APART on impact... the small hole in my wing required a piece of tape to fix it once I dug out the balsa that had stuck in the foam the last mid-air was a good one... me and rick the only 2 up and some how we managed to put our slasher's nose to nose knocked my fuel tank loose, shattered the carb and of course the prop... landed just fine Rick blew his Aileron and throttle servo gear's and ended up nosing in from around 200FT WFO... the servos, fuel tank,dented wing tip,striped muffler bolt and prop of course were the only damage.
