Default RE: Kraft BarFli?

Vince-

I built one in 2005, as did Beppe Fascione. Beppe and I are good friends, yet independently built this model by coincidence at nearly the same time.

It flys well, but not any better than a good sport plane of today's standards IMHO.

I had aileron flutter with it and resorted to dual servos and counterbalancing. It was a fun plane with an Enya 60III and Gold Metal radio.

One day I decided to use it to run-in a YS60. Big mistake. After climbing at a sixty degree angle to 400', I leveled it off and both ailerons separated from the wing.

Be careful of the RCME plans as there is a spacing error in the wing ribs. I also had to deviate slightly in the turdledeck as the bulkheads were not quite right. Use good modeling sense and enjoy the build!
