Plastic planes are fast but landing speed too high

Well, I was tempted until I found out how high the Vso is. The plane goes in on final at 80 kts. Which means, 80 kias is the speed you use for emergency landing. snip I wasn't aware that 80 KIAS was all that fast. I happen to like composite airframes. A nice set of Fowler flaps can help slow you down.
