Default Big Bruce Taipan

Has anyone owned one of these? How is it compared to a Shotgun, Slingshot? Good points, bad points?

Default RE: Big Bruce Taipan

I had one, and I really never got it set up right. It always would drop the tail in the turns, but never gain any altitude. I saw another one do the same thing. i don't know if it has enough vertical fin area or what. I took the same wing and stab and bought a shotgun fuse and it flew awesome. If I were you i would stick with the shotgun. I have no experience with the slingshot. People who have them like them and they seem pretty fast. I would spend the extra bucks and get a Neme Q or one of Marcus Blanchard's kitted Vortexs. I have both and they fly better, not much, but it is noticable.
