Default Hotspot questions

Are Hotspots available in fully composite kits? I have found them with composite fuselage and obechi covered wood wings but nobody seems to know if they are available with all composite wings also. Don"t want to glass wings if it is not neccessary.

Also wondering about the landing characteristics of the Hotspot. I fly a Rookie now and I am wondering if the Hotspot has different landing characteristics. I would like to be able to have greater control over speed on landings which is difficult with the Rookie and Kangaroo variety of planes. Powering back up is always a little risky with the Rookie on landing approach which makes going around for a second try tough sometimes. I would also like to have a plane that has greater rudder control for cross wind landings as well. The rudders on my Rookie are not very effective, I think because they are so small.

Input from you guys would be greatly appreciated since I am ready to buy something soon...Thanks, Gary
