Be careful on takeoff and landing; the thing loves to nosedive and/or ground loop. If you're lucky, you might be able to hit 120mph. Also, the rudder is VERY powerful; there were reports of a Fokker pilot performing a mid-air 180 using only the rudder. Anyway, this thing certainly takes a skilled hand to fly. Just be happy it doesn't have the dreaded rotary engine!

    @RandyAndSonsAircraft Thank you! I actually tend to focus on handling more than looks for many of my aircraft; even my fighter jets have a somewhat realistic power/weight ratio and wing loading.
