Let's not forget that the original ME-262 was a tail dragger also.

I would have to disassemble the empennage, slide the horizontal stab forward and then extend the rudder down to the bottom of the fuselage. The airplane simply will not handle correctly set up as stock. Adverse yaw might be tuned out by mixing ailerons, but all of that drag of controls fighting each other just to fly straight will put a serious penalty on the available power.

Then again, this model, and the Kougar, were never designed to be true pattern planes anyway. Just a quirk of mine. With all of that said, they are very appealing sport models and they look good too.
