Default RE: Spooked?

I'm thinking that maybe he's afraid of that nice, wide fuselage and perhaps what could be stuffed in it. For all I know, he might think I'm planning to fly it into a stadium or something. The plane is a .40 size. Lately, I've been playing with a 1/4 scale Piper Cub on RealFlight. It's a tough one to handle, and if you don't know how to use the rudder, it can and will tip stall, even when making a turn (no bank and yank!). If you land too hard, the landing gear will break. Use too much elevator during takeoff, and it'll do a somersault and land on its back, or it will dip a wing and cartwheel. Use too much elevator in turns, and it'll capsize like an overloaded canoe. You can't do rolls with it. I got to where I can actually takeoff, fly the thing, and then and then land it without any trouble most of the time. It's my favorite plane on the simulator because it's so unforgiving!

Download it and try it if you have RealFlight 3.5:

And yes, DelRay. It makes the Cessna fly like it's got eyeballs.
