Yes, flying it was very similar to the Midwest Aerobat
I really liked my Aerobat. I was sad when they discontinued it. I just may get one.. nostalgia, ya know? That was the plane that the wind caught when it was on the bench. It flipped over and broke away the wing saddle. I still have the plane, but I am not quite sure how to fix the saddle. I may give it to one of the builders at the club and let them get it back up and flying.

The shape of the wing saddle, where the wing "slotted" into the fuselage is where the problem is. And, when it flipped over, the tail feathers broke completely off.. it was really slammed down hard.



Jeez.. now that I look at their web site, the Wingman II is a pretty neat looking plane too!!!


Hmmmm.. when you go to the "buy one" page, the price goes from $99.99 to $109.00. What's with that?
