Default Sportee 60

Tidewater Hobbies (sold by Circus Hobbies, now known as Horizon Hobby) Sportee 60. Completely unbuildable. Bad wood, bad laser cutting, plans and instruction manual showed the 40 size instead of the 60, crazy engineering, no hardware and some really obvious attempts to reduce the cost of manufacturing the kit to the absolute minimum.

I do a lot of scratch building, so I was able to substitute, redesign, replace and otherwise get it built and flown. It flies OK, but the ailerons are very slow to respond, even at 35 degrees deflection.

Anyone want to buy it?
