I flew this one off the mountain side i thouight I would never get her back flew in left hand circles intil the power pooped out, she glided with right hand circle and got caight up in the themals flew like a buzzard, but she came down in one peice with no damage near a corn field I.ll never do that again. thanks for your reply John M Oshust 25-Mar-11 18:57 Wonderful! frwyflyer 25-Mar-11 19:17 WOW!!, That is NICE!! David Duckett 12-Apr-11 06:56 When was this one built? deckape 12-Apr-11 10:30 Dave I built this last year, I built this for my neighbor and he lost intrest in the kit, now I have it as if I bought it myself. I had to cut out a lot of lightning hole in the wingspars.instead of useing 1/16th balsa sticks for the stringers I used light cardboard Bristol board for the stringers I cutted them to 1/16th and soaked them into Areo gloss dope for 24 hours and took them out of the dope let dry for a day and used them instread of the balsa it is lighter them balsa sticks.She flies in left hand circles for 2 minutes, with a touch of right rudder she will glid to the right so you dont have to chase her. still a little heavy but a lot lighter then she would have came out of the kit I highly recamend this kit toi be converted to electric opperation Rc .
