I bought mine built,, striped and recovered it. It had I was told over 100 flights and I put well over 200 on it myself,, Sold it in good used condition and was sorry I did,, It was a crowd pleaser in the day. Like many of the designs of that era they are over built, But tough,, I had a few deadsticks with mine and besides the bent gear the plane held up fine., Like I stated above,, Glides like a brick, but flys great with power on. Mine was right around 18lbs with a Brison 3.2. Great airframe for IMAC type flying,, Not a 3D machine with the smaller ailerons and heavier wingloading.

all in all a very fun plane to own
