Nothing beats flying a real plane; no model however large can be any comparison and they can cost about the same.-never understood it. Try a take-off from a short lake by way of a high speed semi-circular take-off run.-50 knots at least before lift-off. Or eight and half thousand feet spiral descent into Palm Springs CA from the west. Or a tailslide.

Wow, nice big boys toy. Once had a model plane and tried flying it on Southport beach. After my third attempt solo flying ended crashing it and gave up. Was about 15 years old at the time.

I'll stick to the C5's.
