Let us know

Over here (europe) opinions vary. Most owners (including myself) are happy with it, but also most have had lots of problems finding the right settings (CG,incidence, and so on). Being popular on any contest doesn't say that much, since this will be colored by the results Seba had with his (which is NOT the wood build version and also NOT the same plane), and because it's relatively cheap.

I _am_ happy with it, do think it's a good airplane, but its one you really need to fly. You can't sit back and relax. Advantage of that is that ist's good in the difficult stuff (for a monoplane), but more work in the easy stuff. A bit like the Integral. Also I really do think the 300 grams your plane has over mine, makes a huge difference. Mine is simply too light, which is why I advise Volkert not to worry about weight.

I think you misunderstand me, or I'm not explaining it right (probably).

If you're ever in the Netherlands (next year we'll have a worldcup contest here! ), pass by for coffe, sharing experiences and we'll fly 2 straigt lines in wind; one with the WindS and one with the Gaudius. You'll immediatly see what I mean then

Talking about airplanes is soo difficult, it's a lot of opinion not fact, the flying level of someone comes into play as well, as do a lot of personal preferences. Also, howmany flights has someone made with it? In the past I have also made the mistake of being enthousiastic or not about a plane after 3 flights or so, fact is you can't say much about a plane unless you've flown at least 100 flights with it.
