Hi folks,
Anyone have any experience with both the Fazer and Eraser? I've heard
extremely good things about the Fazer as an F3B ship, but a friend was
wondering about whether it would be a better or worse choice than the
Eraser for TD.
Any help appreciated!

Hi folks,
Posting for a friend off-list.
He's looking for a relative comparison of the
flying abilities of the Sharon 3.7 and Eraser Xtreme, and since I've never flown
a Sharon, I'm not much help.
I'd assume that the Eraser would be better at
working light or tight lift, but what about

Cohn's Law: The more time you spend reporting on what you are doing, the
less time you have to actually do anything. Stability
It's usually because ailerons have more upward deflection than downward,
especially in a crow or spoileron setup. Having the hinge on top allows for
this larger movement with a smaller cutout (gap) in the wing. That's why
flaps are usually bottom hinged...greater deflection downward.
