Default RE: flaps vs. speedbrakes



I gave up on my crusade:

Planes are aerobatic, not acrobatic.

ANY model that can take-off is "3-D Capable". Some with enough thrust to weight are capable of sustained high-alpha maneuvers. And most of these are like parking in the lane of a highway. Take it off the runway!

To call glow-fuel "Nitro" is like calling gasoline "Octane" or just "Oct" (it's just a small percentage of the mixture).

It's a lost cause.
