Default RE: KMP T-Craft ???

Hi-
We have flown this T-Craft (KMP in USA/Canada) since last summer. We use a 61FS with a Dubro softmount, APC 12x6 prop and JR standard ballbearing servos. It flies like a dream, with plenty power for all kinds of aerobatics. It can almost be compared with big sister Taylorcraft 1:4 from Hangar 9, which we also fly. These two flown together at meetings have really made people watch! But since the small one has a flat bottom wing profile it is more sensitive to throttle in the air, and it is also quite sensitive for sharp turns at speed when you apply too much rudder together with ailerons (the rudder is big!). An inward snap can happen..
I don't agree that the little T-craft is over-sensitive to wind, no problem! The model is only a bit sensitive during take-off if you apply too much throttle too fast - basically with the 61FS it will lift off at half speed..
