Thanks

Doesn't seem to have a direct link on his homepage. The basic plan starts here:
http://spad.tc-pc.com/ccedge540/cced...eriallist.html

The plans refer to some of the instruction for Chris's Brickknife. The pics for this are apparently gone somewhere??

The plane flys great.It will fly super slow and mild or slow and wild.It is a great plane,it will do just about anything any other profile plane will do.This plane is alot better than a PQHOR,because it floats unlike a QHOR plane.If the edge deadsticks it will glide ,nice and easy.The QHOR drop from the sky pretty quick.Build it you will love it!I would not recommend that a beginner try this plane,because it does not forgive.

The only thing that is unforgiving is it goes where you point it and does not correct itself.I think a next step plane would be a Spadstick or DPS.My second plane from a trainer was the Spadstick.

Thanks for the info Tileflyer. This plane sounds like it will fly similar to a Top Cap. Would that be a close comparison?
