RE: seduction freestyle plans.
3dmike
Actualy i think you just proved my point. You wanted a plane that was good at high alpha and you were dissapointed that it was not good at high alpha, thus you think it is not a very good craft. I completely understand your dissapointment, you got something that did not fulfill your expectations. Expectations are the cause for more mental anguish than any other factor.
I on the other hand read the reviews and never expected it to be be good at high alpha manuevers, therefore i love it. I think it is the best pattern plane i have ever flown that is still stable enough to do some 3d.
The Seduction is really more of a pattern bird than a 3d bird. BTW that combo makes one hell of a capable Artistic Aerobatic plane. That is te reasin the AA website lists it as "probably the best in its class." That is exactly what i wanted with the Freestyle and that is exactly what i got.
The reason the Freestyle has small strip ailerons is exactly because it was never designed to be a slow flying high alpha model. Most of the AA planes that i am aware of follow the template of small strip ailerons.
Also the reason Pilot realesed the Seduction Wildstyle was to fill the gap in the product line for a high alpha capable plane.

Don't worry the Seduction is a beautiful flying ship, best i have ever flown. I did not find it to be as unstable as 3dmike reported. I even was able to do one of my first inverted harriers with it. There is a whole lot of very satisfied Seduction owners. When you and Sprink compare the two models you will find that it is much better at pattern while the Capiche is going to be better at 3d. I hope you did not expect it to be a 3d monster though.
