Performance figures anybody?

It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

Anything will fly with a large enough motor on the front

Apparently, one in five people in the world are Chinese. And there are five people in my family, so it must be one of them. It's either my mum or my dad. Or my older brother, Colin. Or my younger brother, Ho-Chan-Chu. But I think it's Colin. - Tim Vine.

Optical illusion.

No, take a VERY close look at the tips themselves. Their shapes are very different, which means the wings themselves are probably quite different.

Yes but the particular model in question is just that: A model, and so not necessarily subject to those same examples.
