Excellent flying twin trainer. The trim and later the covering tends to peel off.

For a really fun plane, it needs larger controls. Once my wing covering came loose and couldn't be stuck down, I recovered the top of the wing and installed wider ailerons. The fluorescent yellow is a lot easier to see. At the same time I added floats, pulled the GMS .32 engines and installed Thunder Tiger .42GP engines. It made a really nice sea twin.
