RE: Deception or Tiporare?
I'm with you. I prefer the Tiporare (standard size).
I built/flew/trimmed and eventually abandoned a Deception. In a dog fighting world of Japanese Zeros, ME-109 and Spitfires, the Deception was the equivalent of the P-47 Jug. Great for ground attacks and other strafing duties, but too heavy and awkward for intimate dog fights with lighter, tighter turning airplanes. Just my opinion.
