- I won one at a Christmas raffle several years ago. I built mine with a Fox
- .15BB, Challenger radio, and Titan mini-servos. The plane was covered with
- Mica Film on the wings and silkspan on the fuselage. It came out overweight
- and it was no fun to fly. With its small wing area, it lands rather hot.
-
- If you pay attention to weight, it should be okay. As a sport plane, it's
- rather limited for aerobatics. I remember it was alot of work to build.
