I never had a Dreamer but it was on my list back in the day. I joined the military and when I got out the kit was no longer available. I knew several guys at various clubs who had them and every one of those planes that I remember was a hot rod. I remember one guy built one so heavy it shouldn't have flown, but it did. It flew heavy but was still very capable.

The ones that were reasonably weights all flew great and landed pretty slow. They were a little difficult on anything less than a smooth field with short grass but with practice they could take off without too much difficulty. I think the Dreamer never received the recognition it deserved.
