The real F4B was not a very big airplane. Pilots claimed that you could make it do a 180 degree turn by hanging your arm out of the cockpit.

I have 100hrs in a home built biplane known as a Smith Miniplane. If I held the wings level and held my arm straight out the plane would turn. My arm created that much drag. It only had 100 sq ft of wing area, crused at 110 mph. Landed at 85 mph . Didn't have much of a glide. 1 to 1 so to say. For every foot forward it descended one foot.

The Druine Turbulents that I used to fly in the UK in the 70's & 80's also were very small - had a VW flat-four engine and cruised at 80 knots - very light on the controls a delight to go aloft in. That aircraft also makes a nice flying model!
