- I built their 1/4 scale Fokker DRI a couple of years ago. Nice wood, good die cutting.
- Hardware package was a little thin. BTW, the nose hase been stretched a bit
- for ease in balancing. I have a Quadra 35 in mine. It flies nice but the ground
- handling in horrible. You break something (rudders mostly) about avery other landing.
- Don't even try to fly it in the wind unless you have a parachute to land it with.
-
- Actually, I think most of the problems I have with it is the power to weight
- ratio. I'm just not used to airplanes that fly on the wing rather than sheer
- power.
