Default Top Flight DC 3

I own a Wright powered -3 and several models up to a 126". The Top Flight 3 has a wider chord and wash out at the tips. It also has larger tail surfaces. The full size 3 stalls at about 55 knots at the tips. With any power and a high angle of attack it will roll upside down. Because the rudder is hinged so far back you can also lock the rudder under certain conditions.
