Thanks! That’s too bad about yours, what prop were you using? I did have a little bit of pull to the left but nothing too major.

Is that a SBK or Scratch Built? Either way you did a great job on it!!

It's the SBK. I managed to squeeze it into my suitcase on the way back from Flitefest haha!

Would there be any advantage to adding flaps?

 

[CrshNBrn]

It doesn't need them. Unless it was for the principle, the Hellcat slows down enough without them.

more than the corsair?

I haven't built the mini-Corsair, so I can't speak to that.
