Default RE: Dragon - Pusher Canard from 1979

That plane is simular to my Starliners. (pictures attached of the Mk IV (.91 glow)

My birds fly great. I find them to be very stable, they go where I point them, and not having to worry about stalling is a big plus. They are fast, responsive, yet are not twitchy. Landings are very easy once you slow down, get the nose up and they will just about land themselves.

Also, even tho they are pushers, I have never had any overheating problems on the ground, even in 100 degree Texas heat, I don't rush out to the runway, just startup, check needle setting and go, just like a puller plane.

they are fun planes. Besides, I always enjoy the comments about "flying backwards"

With the Dragin having a simular airframe layout, I would expect the Dragon to fly just like the Starliners.

HTH!
