i know what your saying about the nose up approach. i fly a north star sold by balsa usa. and it's the same way. though not hard to fly , you do have to pay attention when landing. every landing seems different . i also flew a g&p sales f-18. it's funny you guys talk about max speeds of some of these jets being about 130-150. my f-18 with a rossi .60 swinging a apc 11x7 pusher was getting about 130 on a flat run ! on a pipe, 120 with a standard muffler. thanks for the input . it is very helpful ,warbird_1
