Spitfire and BF109

After building, flying( and loving) the ft spitfire I decided it needed a Nemisis so I built a BF109 based on the Spitfire with minor variations. The spitfire flies wonderfully but the 109........Meh....not near as good although manageable. I think the smaller wing and tail feathers of the 109 make it lose the wonderful flight characteristics of the spit. I may try again if I crash and burn and more closely follow the spitfire shapes on the wing and tail, but with the straighter lines of the Messerschmitt.

very nice. Are those duck tape you used for the covering? Wal-Mart stores sell these. Any color.
