Title: KI84 = balloon
Post by: x0847Marine on March 07, 2005, 05:43:10 PM

After a steep climb use of full flaps and the KI84 will literally fly like a kite or balloon, it hangs in the air at 30-60 MPH with the cockpit speed'o reading zero.

This cant be realistic.

The 84 is a rice-paper plane with an engine that's too powerful for the frame (controls stiffen up at its top cruising speed... lol :p). As such, the hovering more or less makes sense to me.
