Default RE: Whats the difference of flying a highwing vs. lowwing?

If you're asking, The twin star is too much airplane for you.
It's even too much for me.
Not that I can't fly one, it's setting one up for flight.
A P-38 Lighting is a dream model for me.
I've never advance or experimented enough with twin engines set ups.

You can't just slap two nitro engine on it, due to vibrations.
The engines vibration will cuase enhomics balance against one another. Therefore cuasing the engines to run eratic.

If you don't tune your engine close enough to one another, it'll cause one side of the wing to yaw, lift or fly faster than the other.
For a new pilot..it'll probably roll than crash.lol

A guy at my field had one and he's a very exerince pilot. Never the less he spent most of the time messing it, tuning it..ect,
than flying it. It was bullet thou. He installed 2 .40s in it. It was fast but it didn't look fun too me. I saw it in the air
only once for less than a couple of minutes, then he had to bring it down and mess with it some more.
