	Hmm, guess not. A little P-51 with retracts? Neat.

	Hehe, that's kinda what I was thinking, actually. Not so much because of the 
lack of slopes around here (although we do indeed have very few good slope 
places that I know of, if any), but because I just wouldn't want to have to 
do combat in a glider. I want to be able to point the plane at the target and 
head straight for it, regardless of speed or altitude. :)

	Well ok, I know it's not an old model per se, I mean this particular plane 
has been flying for a long time. For me anyway, 7 years is quite a while for 
a plane to still be flying. :)
