akschu... I'm new to RC but i do know a little about planes and what goes on with them and whatever... some people put flaps on their planes so they can land slower but you need time to slow down. If you want to land faster than you can even without flaps, think about spoilers. Now, i'd like to repeat that i'm new to RC, but im sure there is some kind of spoilers out there so you can lose lift on your plane (so you can land) without sacrificing speed. I'm pretty sure that spoilers will slow down your plane some, but it wont be as much as flaps will and you could just throttle up a little so you still have speed.

If thats too complicated (dont worry, i probly confused myself too ) just buy a plane with less wing area ... which equals less lift, so faster speeds!! or take an inch or so off the 4* 's wings.

I'd like an expert to verify all of the above to say it's ok, i dont have much experience in this stuff.
