I've nothing against steering, I marvel at someone being able to steer a
model with a 40' carbon fiber pole. I've attempted to steer my LPP a
couple of times and usually stop in fear of destroying the plane before I
do any good - and that's a "heavyweight" model - can't imagine doing it
on something like an F1D, which, in my opinion, are built out of Fairy
Dust
