Default RE: Maiden Day Flights!!

Minnflyer reviewed the Switch, and funny enough, my 9yr old son it the little guy in the video. I actually shot the video for the Switch while my son got to play with it! After we were done shooting the video, he said "WOW! I can't believe I got to fly a review plane before YOU did!" Yup, that's my boy!!!

The switch is a great flying airplane. With the wing mounted high, it's a stable flying trainer. "Switch" to the low-wing configuration, and you have a very smooth flying sport plane!

The Advance is a larger plane. It is basically a low-wing aerobatic trainer/sport plane. I would compare it to the Switch with the low wing, except that the Advance is mostly balsa/light ply with Ultra-cote covering. I say mostly balsa and ply, because the wing is balsa sheeted with foam cores. With a 52" wingspan, tricycle gear, and a decent wing loading, the Advance looks to be a fun plane to fly!

As soon as we get a decent break in the weather, I plan to take it out and put it in the air. Keep your eyes open for the review in the review/articles section!
