A pretty dang good replica of the British WWI fighter, the Sopwith Camel. A couple tips to help controling: don't pull up on takeoff, let the plane take off on its own (you might actually want to nose down a bit with trim so you take of on a more level flight); when landing, try and get your speed down to around 90-100 mph and DON'T BRAKE HARD. I would suggest not braking at all or slowly, SLOWLY braking so that the plane doesn't nose over into the ground. I had a lot of fun building this plane, enjoy!
