I agree and (respectfully) disagree with Hilleja's post.

I agree with the statements about the kit contents. I have had no trouble whatsoever with the pushrods in the kit (with a little custom bending). I also agree the the plane is very capable aerobatically. And based on Hilleja's early post, I reinforced the landing gear areas and have had no problems (but that may be because this plane lands like a feather).

Where I would disagree is the comment about a second plane. On low rates, this plane is really tame. Great on the ground (first tail dragger), easy and stable takeoff's, tracks great in the air, handles the wind great, lands slower than a trainer, and almost will not tipstall. Not to mention the great 60/90 size. Also, this plane will accomadate as wide a range of engine sizes as I may have ever seen.

Now on high rates (as published in the manual or even more) the plane is very agile. Tumbles, snaps, spins, whatever (minus knifedge) and might be too much for a second plane.

But what a great second plane proposition!

Just start on low rates - for get crow flaps, get used to it, hone your skills and steadily tune the plane as your skills increase.

It really is a great plane.
