Actually the P-38 predated the Hughes XF-11 by a number of years, so it is more likely that Hughes borrowed from Lockheed

Do a bit more research on p-38s. your comments are incorrect in several points. The counter-rotating props were an effort to reduce buffeting experienced in early models of p-38s. The full scale plane was flyable, as are all certificated twins, on one engine, provided proper technique was employed. Feathering props were in existence well before the-38 was designed.

Glad to learn that the damage was repairable

Glide ratio none. Why did not the pilot have a coach to take him through the landing proceedures. I try to have someone with me on all my maiden flights if nothing more than moral support.

No one denies flying these things probably takes a lot of skill, patience and practice but trust me.. because you can fly this doesn't mean you can fly the real ones ;)

@Danni293 Hey, Danniboy...As a commercial pilot (big, "real" airplanes) and an r/c pilot, I can tell you beyond a shadow of a doubt that these "little toy planes" are more difficult to fly and require a lot more skill in a number of ways than real planes. "Little toys?" You know many of these larger scales can easily stretch a $10,000 bill? How does that shoe rubber taste, Danniboy? You're right about playing guitar having the potential to pay. On the street corner with a hat on the sidewalk.

@g6rcteam Flying little toy planes aren't my kind of thing, I like to actually get a hobby that has the potential to pay. Like playing guitar, which I do. And model airplanes are for those who didn't have enough to actually become a real pilot like I plan on doing. So we'll see whose the wannabe pilot when I'm flying real jets and you're still playing with your little toys.
