    Status: offline     		The plane is a Midget Mustang Formula 1 pylon plane. Which one being the fastest, it or the Shoestring, will have to be found out when the plane becomes abailable. It'll be hard to beat the speed of the Shoestring. I think the Little Toni will be slightly heavier. With the same engine pulling both planes I think the Shoestring will prevail.

    I think a nice twin like the DA 100 would be a better choice.

    I thought it was a Cosmic Wind?atleast that was what it was called when Great Planes had it out as a kit several years ago, with foam core wings and a glass fuse.

    Status: offline     		Lil Toni-Cosmic Wind -Minnow-- same - Midgit Mustang NOT even close .
    The LaVier (designer , named the Toni after his daughter) Cosmic Wind Ballerina was actually flown in aerobatic world competition in 1964 by British Champ Neil Williams
    Tho many modelers see these as only go fast turn left designs - built light and setup properly they are super acrobatic models
    This kit may be too heavy - don't know --
    I would really liketo see some larger - properly built stuff on the market - but the kit guys are driven by sales and this whole world of f1 planes are not popular --- yet.
    Strange -as the highly popular stuff like the EDGE are simply take offs of the early Formula Racers '
    Oh well.
