I have not built one. I have seen the mower fly about 10 times. It is very interesting to watch. The pilot however says it is a handfull.

Check out the spad forum. I haven’t got any experience with one yet but a lot of the guys over there do.

I have a flying disc and am working on another odd ball now. I haven't flown the disc lately but when I did it did OK, takes a little getting used to. Mine are NOT ARF's, I build them out of house foam insulation.

A friend up North used to fly a lot of them and he's the one that got me started. He had a disc. with Snoopy on it, he built a full sized Super Man ( That really got attention from passers by ) he also had a Corvet and I think a couple others. They all flew pretty well and were real crowd pleasers.
I can't really say much for the production ones as I've only flown 2 on very short flights and don't really remember much about them ( I think that has something to do with age but I'm not sure ). ENJOY !!! RED
