David,

I have built and flown several of these jets. In the 100`s on flights. It will take some time getting used to the profile and the landings but would say that flying this jet made me a better pilot. It is very demanding to see the profile and manage the power settings for landing. You can never be too hot with this jet on landings, bleeding speed is easy. Getting to slow will bite you every time. I lost my first mirage due to elevon flutter. I built a second one and made a mod which ended up being solid at ANY speed.

See pic of my first Mirage. I left the tips attached. The inboard section that has no hinge fluttered.
