That stuck in the back of my mind. Many years ago when all of the A schools were still on the Navy base in Millington, I seen many a young sailor buy and build one of those Top Flite Corsairs. After 3-4 months of building this beautiful plane, they took it out back to the concrete parking lot to fly. I must have seen 10 of them totally demolished in minutes over the course of a couple of years. Never saw a successful flight. Most of them never got more than 25 feet or so off the ground.

I'd love to fly a war bird some day, but I still think they are a little tricky for beginners. (even slowed down)
