I had the opportunity to fly the Tipo again this past Sunday and in my humble opinion it fits the bill perfectly for my style of flying. Straight flight, very axial rolls (although at highest rate the rolls aren't that fast as I would expect - more in the book maneuver style), verticals need a bit of correction, knife edge need a small correction only, inverted barely need correction and landings are slow and predictable. I'm still trimming the plane for my taste. What does the flying have to do with the plan scaling? well that at the end if the flying is of your liking then you got a winning plane. Where would I work a bit? maybe on the weight, fin leading edge at its root is quite thick, access to tank having retracts installed can be very tricky, but at the end I'm getting the results I wanted so I really don't need to complain. Am a happy camper. Thank you for the input.
