Default RE: F-5 in Model Aviation

Well, Mr Brand noticed. I once watched the prototype F 20 flying at the Farnborough Air Show. One of the fastest, tightest demo flights I have ever seen by a jet. He was using reheat and small flap deflections to tighten the high speed turns. A week later that pilot was killed when the F 20 crashed doing the same display in South Korea. Cause of the crash - G loc causing the pilot to loose consciousness. Sometimes you can just push it too far []
