tim and craig,
this plane will be my first really twin that i will build and fly. i do have a PBY which is a twin. it was an electric kit that i had turned into glow. it did crash it on the first flight. only b/c the CG was really wrong. also it was kind of windy for how small the plane was too. the crash was not bad. the plane was fixed in about 3 hours or less. but the set up on the engines is kind of hard. but im getting there. just need a lot of time and calm set of nerves. i think of myself as a pretty good pilot. i many types of planes from h-9 corsair, piper cub, f-18 prop jet, foamies, helis, 33% suhkio and a cmp p-40 which had a mid air with this year. so i did fly 3D aerobatics to scale warbirds. so i think i am ready for the next step in my flight.

i did read the manual already that i printed off from top flites web site when it was first released. the set up does not seem to hard. it will just take time. out of all the arfs that i put together the manuals are very helpful. they almost always have some type of tips in them to help the builder out.

i would agree with tim craig. you should get yourself some type of scale warbird and fly that. also i talked with a lot of more experinced warbird pilots to help me understand what to expect from warbirds and how the fly. most war planes like to fly fast. so slow take offs and landings are not a good idea with any fighter warbird. you need to learn rudder i think. to me this is a must for take offs and landings. some may say other wise. ask around and see what other pilots at your field have to say.
