Tom,

I had a buddy who had one of these and asked me to test fly it. I went through all the threads, read all the horror stories, and was prepared for the worst. The airplane flew great, go figure. My friend received it second hand so we do not know if it was built box stock and we just happened to get a good one or if the incidences had been modified by a previous owner. My buddy did some minor repairs, put new covering on it, and as I recall he also moved everything as far forward as possible. I wish I could tell you why it flew well when others did not but I'm afraid I do no know why!
