Where is this field?

Full flap is not so much flap as airbrake. the real spit used 85degrees worth of it to slow the bird down as it was quite a slippery bird. Did you use just partial flap on the approach? Full deployment would possibly meant your fast idle would be required to overcome the drag.
Just my 2 cents worth.

trés réaliste mais qui apparament allonge pas mal à l'atterrissage

Not knowing for sure, but I guess it's the one with a Wingspan of 63" not impossible to fly but you should have some skills before you buy something like this, probably consider this as a fourth or fifth plane. I bought one and built it but I have still not had the curage to fly it, I'm on my second plane now. If you don't wanna start out with the very basic planes I would recomend a electricub 58.75". but you have to build it and there are better first planes out there.

Good to hear skywarp.
I think you will be happy with this plane when you are finished. Keep the tail light. The guy that finished this plane flew it with a two stroke Super Tigre 91 and needed a ton of lead in the nose. By using a YS 1.10 I was able to offset the need for most of the lead and as you can see I have plenty of power.
I still have about four ozs of lead in the front section of the cowl.

Beautiful plane! I've seen pics of this plane with the 4-blade prop. Is this just for looks or can you fly it with a 4-blade prop?
Thanks for the video!

On models of this size a four bladed prop is less efficient than a two blader.
It is best in the case of most models to stick with a two bladed prop.
