No, no! I meant to give some reference to the size of my testing site. I
did not intend to say that it would make much sense to try to trim F1D
for too tight turn, nor diss F1D in any ways. Just trying to point out
that despite the long fuselage, F1M turns tighter than F1D.

Besides, after flying F1M for a decade before moving over to F1D, the
latter seems ridiculously stubby to me (now that is dissing!). A real
indoor duration plane _should_ have a long fuselage and almost tandem
layout!
