Might be a good cheap aero tow candidate.

It would be nice if they had the manual online.

No air brakes or flaps.Plywood formers glued in crooked with a twisted fuselage.
Missing wing tips.
Wings did pass the eyeball test.
Just about what I expected from a cheap arf kit.Im sure I can make in fly ok with a few upgrades.

Status: offline 		There was also an old one that was 4m, there is a long build thread around it. The new one is a bit different.

My dad bought one of the new ones and just flew it today. Actually said it did pretty well, but really could use airbrakes or flaps. More of a light wind/lift kind of plane, but did okay in 20kt winds off the slope. We will have to see how well it holds up.
