Default RE: Mini Floh (AIL)....how is it?

I have a Mini-Floh w/ailerons. Std speed 400 with 7 cell AE pack. It is quick and I like the airfoil. I have thermaled it once from ~200ft. for 10 min. Most of the time is spent making the slimers(fuel guys) mad by doing aerobatics in my "glider". I usually buzz around for 5 min. at low level, then climb a couple of times and glide down. It is not a slow plane. Spoilerons help a little on landing but generally land hot and slide a while. Make sure the pushrods are glued all the way down the fuse. HS-55s are too fat for the wing.

Overall I like it ok. I had to make my own V-tail horns though because theirs were junk and the surfaces a little short.
