RE: TF P-51D ARF 60 SIZE CRAP
Corsair Jock,You make my piont for me.If you are into banking and yanking then yes the lighter wing loading is for you.But in all honesty the full scale warbirds had some negitive tendencies when flown in this manner.I had the World models P-51 ARF and the higher wing loading of this model also showed some of the negitive tendencies of the full scale when flown in a sport manner.On the other hand my experience with the Hanger 9 warbirds (P-51, Corsair and P-47) have all shown some very forgiving performance qualities. But I believe these forgiving qualities subtract from the look and feel of flying a warbird in a scale manner.10+ g turns are not scale like even in a warbird.And as far as landing speeds, you are correct that the higher wing loading results in higher landing speeds and even more so when flown in a sport manner.But these higher landing speeds can be managed and a reduction in landing speed to more scale like speeds can be done with proper technique.
