This
is a good kit for balsa-bashers, which is quite straight-foward
to build - due to good instructions and plans. The plane
flies quite nicely, and is very relaxing to potter around
the sky with, it looks big in the sky due to its very wide
wing chord. It can fly and land "really slowwwwwww",
but when trimmed right, will knife-edge, roll, loop e.t.c
quite nicely. I have mixed the rudder so that it can do
flat turns with no other control inputs.
