RE: Do you put a pilot in your cockpit
IMO it depends on the plane. Some planes are just fine w/o a pilot, more toward the sport planes. Now, if you were into Giant scale warbirds,aerobatics,etc. it just looks a lot better to put a pilot in & it would defentily help your score in competitions. It also depends on the pilots preference, wether they would like one in their or not, ultimately, regardless of this poll its still your decision. What plane are you looking to put a pilot into ? BTW - I second what bassfisher is saying about painting the cockpit black.
