anyone have a zero?
i have had a GWS zero for several months and have flown it twice. i would have flown more but at first i was using a 2a speed control and it did an very graceful pancake. i have in the process gotton cold feet. i started flying (without lessons) on a GWS j3 f and became fairly procficcient with the rudder and elevators (i could sucsessfully tip stall and bring it back under control). does can anyone console me by saying that the zero should be a challenge but not too hard.. or not.
cheers

I have been flying mine with the retracts and this plane rocks for what it is. I have not found any bad habits IF it is balanced right. I am using a 8 cell 900 ma ni-mh shoved to the front and it balaced perfect with no trim changes in flying.

All that you have to remember when flying this plane is to keep a litle speed up on landing. It does not like 3 pointers so just fly it onto the runway with a little power on and set it on the mains first and it will never tip stall.

Sorry. Browser Trouble.
I modified my wing to rubber-band-on style, because it didn't seem strong enough to me. Would the retracts still work?
