Thanks John. I have had 3 senioritas and one senior in the past. Each one was a flying carpet. I like slow flying planes you don't have to be constantly correcting or turning around because you have flown to the limits of yor vision. I really like to sit on the tail gate of my truck with the plane trimmed to fly big circles while the radio is sitting beside me and I only have to bump a stick ever so often to correct the flight path. Sorta like a controled free flight.

I have high hopes for this plane. I built it as light as possble but it still came out at 5 pounds with a 16oz wingloading. But the info on the box is incorrect. To have a 12oz wingloading the plane would have to weigh about 3.5 pounds. Thats lighter than the listed lowest weight for the plane. I think they fudged a little. Oh well, the proof is in the flying.
