Hmm...I've always thought it was the worst flying airplane on G2...
Either way, the real airplane does fly great!
You can get the plans from Tower Hobbies or buy the Fun 51 which is basically the same airplane...

Do a search in the FunFly forum for the Fun 51 and you will come up with a couple great threads with a bunch of good information and flight reports.
You can't go wrong, they are $45! It's a great kit with good wood and instructions. They can be built in a weekend and covered in another weekend.
Depending on what kind of flying you really like, you will more than likely end up with a Morris Hobbies airplane like the Sledge or Knife....
