Dear David
I totally agree with you. That TM looks fantastic, having one of the best outlines I have come across in a model, specially a small one - till you get to the tail area, that is. That oversize tail really detracts from what could be a wonderful model, especially a ARTF one.
I don''t think you really need all that area, to be honest. Granted, the model will be more easily controlled - but then, a TM flies so beautifully.
