Default RE: B-ARF or Flash

Cody,

Transitioning to the Flash landing was a little bit of a task for me. The Bandit can be a "chop the throttle, keep the nose down, and flare" plane. The Flash wants to approach nose-high, with a little power to the ground, which was a different for me to get used to initially. And, because of the large flaps and speed brake, it can be a little pitchy when first learning the landing approach.

After learning the approach profile, I agree with you Cody. The flash is a breeze to land, and after doing my high altitude stall tests, I no longer fear the nose high approach. Admittedly, it was a little nerve racking at first. Because of this, I also think the flash would make a good transition jet to some of the scale fighters.

As I have said, both are winners!
