        It handles wonderfully. It will tend to dive a little in a turn, you need to carry a little power into the landing but it's relatively fast and looks absolutely very cool in the air. If you don't have one it should be on your short list,

          The P-38 and especially the new F7F Tigercat are excellent flying twins! I highly recommend getting one, or both (I have both! :)).

            It's got a heavy wing load but I like that, it performs great in stock form and is much faster than you would expect. I have to say that it commands attention booth on the ground and in the air.

              There is the magic phrase wing load. I still to this day cannot fly the durafly p40n lol

                +1 on the P-37 being a great plane. Keep the speed up. But, the P-38 is very easy to handle. I haven't flown the Tigercat; so, no comment on it. Another great twin is the Freewing Mosquito (if you can still get one).

                  Out this morning flying FW 70mm V2 F16 6s. Good little crosswind but handle great. One of my favorites when I want some speed. Upgraded landing gear so settles in nice on landing.

                        Nice shot TI...The P-38 as many have said flies great. Definitely has a higher wing load but as long as you know that and fly accordingly she will reward you with some great flights.

                            Flew the FMS 1.5M Razorback after work when the Flight Gods smiled upon Thee and parted the skies for an hour. Great flight and the landing was one of my better greasers...

                            ...and then she proceeded to ground loop into the curb breaking a wheel fairing. :Angry:

                              And fellow flyers love to watch it fly. I've had club members, after their planes and gear has been loaded to go home, that will stick around for another hour just to see my P-38 fly before leaving for home. It's such a nice plane to fly and has such a beautiful presence in the sky.

                                I flew a bunch of stuff today but the highlight of the day was when my granddaughter Adrianna had her first solo flight, she did great, even though it was windy she brought it in for a perfect landing...she may be the next "Evelyn".

                                    Very cool, TI. I'm teaching my 24-year-old daughter to fly. She's gotten addicted to the security of buddy-boxing and won't solo. She has the skills, just not the confidence... :-/

                                        Maidened my FW 90mm F-18. Nice flight but I lost my battery hatch and Mobius in the trees. So I guess not such a nice flight. :Straight-Face:

                                          Day 218: Constant 20 mph with 30-35 mph gusts, but it was sunny.
