There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

) at 2400 rpm gets you 130 mph at 200-300 fpm. The climb is painfully slow but in real life it was, even for the 4 engined planes at max weight. The 800 fpm as advertised weight used was around 35k and max throttle allowances that is why it was called max climb rate - no one ever used this. That is one of the reasons fire power always pissed me off, the flight models were like race cars. Enough of my whining.
