I am not putting anyone down by saying this, but people have to look at their skill set. Many of the planes I test fly the first thing I do after getting the bird trimmed out is get high and slow her way down. Get to know what she will do when you make turns at slower speeds. Then make a fast approach and practice a low fly by, then set her up for landing and make a fast approach and bleed off all my speed 6-8" of the deck until I flair. For some reason many good builders really suck bad at piloting. I believe it is because of stick time. I am really lucky as just about every night I either fly my small biplane, F4U, or heli. OR  I am playing with my RC sim. I saw a guy once take of a B24 so slow he had now aileron control and slow rolled the plane into one huge pile of wood. IF HE would have understood that rudder is your friend he would have saved the plane. Some of these war bird guy (not all, and not even 75%, but a few) spend so much time building that they forget they have built a fast higher than average wing load performance machine. Sorry to be so wordy, and I am not saying I am not prone to crashing this thing, but I hear you load and clear. IMHO you have to fly these big planes by the numbers and by the book. If not it is all over. I have seen a ton of P-51, and F4U's crash on final as the pilot gets to high of a sink rate started and instead of adding power pulls the nose up. THAT is instant death. When learn to fly full scale you learn attitude is airspeed, and power is altitude, same thing applies 110% to RC aircraft. I have also had a few ask what would happened if the B-36 crashes, well I think that is a silly question, but I will let Big "E" answer that. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVyHq...lOR9qNQs-8nUQg Rock ON!!!!!

Something to keep you busy when you need a break- "Walk softly, and carry a BIG stick."
