And fly it did this last Saturday. I was alittle concerned if a 55cc towplane would haul it up but under the skillful direction of Don Bailey, this proved to be a non issue.

Balancing right at the aft portion of the wing joiner proved to be just about right. Flew well and much better then my KA-8. It stayed up much better then my other Sailplane even with my nonexsistant sailplane experience.

The air brake/spoiler showed no tendency to pitch change when deployed.

Looks great in the air and is easier to see higher up compared to other models.

As this ARF required alot of "fixes", this is not an ARF I would recommend.

I'll be at the Northwest Aerotow at Monroe, WA near the end of July this year.
