Happy Days:
Well done Sean :clap: , great looking model!

I’ve never flown that particular plane Sean but I can tell you two things.
1/ The bigger the model, (to a large extent) the easier it is to fly. It doesn’t get ‘bounced’ around so much in turbulent air. And being larger it’s easier to see at a distance.
2/ I’ve found that the down side of ‘T’ tailed mouldies  is that the fuse tends to crack / brake at the junction of the fuse and tail fin during hard landings.  Answer = ease her onto the ground gently. (Sometimes easier said, than done………Ask me how I know :oops: . )

As for airbrakes, a quick word of caution,………don’t let her slow up too much for landing, otherwise she’ll stall.

Good luck with your new acquisition, let us know how she goes on her maiden flight. :D
