haha thank you Ben...you're absolutely right most SPAD's are ugly!LOL
the real reason i asked this question was because of a hand launch accident that happened with my lastest scratch built 1/12th scale P-40 Warhawk. i chucked it myself-too slow-and it just went immediately into a stall and rolled to the left-into the ground. luckily it is re-buildable-thanks in part to the styrofoam,epoxy resin construction...
anyhoo-there was some discussion with some of my clubmates as to the cause and what happened. myself-i know it was a stall but some people think differently.
also there's talk that the prop i used was wrong-normally we use 9x4 props on an o.s. max .25fx, but this time i used a 10x5 because the spinner was 2 1/2" and i wanted to increase the prop effectiveness by adding MORE prop
