Default RE: flatouts suck

I built the Flatout Flatana. Not much trouble building or flying. Just had to land it too fast. Had to keep about 4 clicks on the throttle to keep it stable on final. No complaints with building but just not that fun to fly. I too am tired of the "flat" fad. I set it in the driveway and my wife accidently ran over it with the car. Now it's really flat. Only plane I ever lost where it did not bother me. Took out the radio gear and motor and built a Great Planes mini super sportster. These flat foamies can be fun to fly, but my biggest complaint, like others, is the landing gear is always inadequate, and biggest of all, you can't look at these things without something breaking. 90% of my damage was do to me being clumbsy, but I never liked the fact that you cant breathe on them without something breaking. I am done with them. Two years flying the Flatana, Eflight Tribute, and P51 Mustang. It was fun, but I am done with them.
