The Freedom has a 'V' tail with elevator support. It is not like some of the other Firebird planes that use the throttle to control altitude. Another thought maybe the reusability of the radio gear. I am not sure how each of these planes are in that catagory. I have not really looked at the inside of the Freedom on a long time so I am not sure if the gear can easily be removed and reused. How does the Supercub look as far as reuse of gear?
