Wonderful build! I was flying at 306KTAS and quickly googled what the max speed of this aircraft was. Turns out it’s 306KTAS. Pretty funny coincidence!
@RNManufactures You have to land at a speed that is not a maximum of 150 mph and use flaps and trim to land as smoothly as possible.
How do I land without it bouncing?
@tsampoy Thanks
Very fun to fly
@NoahthemanLOL Thanks
