Dave Smith Models Smart Move?

Has anybody in the US done business with Dave Smith Models in the UK? Built & flown one of their Excelsior or Smart Move kits? Can you give us a report on service, buildability, flyability, etc?

I brought back 2 of his kits the last time I was at the Sandown show in the UK. They are very nice quality and Dave seemed like a very nice guy with all the time he spent with me at the show. I have since ordered one more kit from him. If you order a kit from him and have it sent to the States let me know, I will have some tips for you to make a few things easier.

i dont know much about the smart move but i have flown his excelsior and owned 3 of his panther funflys.
the kits are excellent quality and the hardware is good, the prices are very reasonable too.

i am sure the smart move flies very very well going by the rest of daves designs
