Well, I decided to go with the Avistar Select. Got it yesterday, assembled it and set it up last night and flew it today at the club field. It was nose heavy and I put an ounce of lead on the tail which helped a lot. I think it needs just a little more. Other than that it flew great. Didn't do anything fancy, just flew around getting the feel of it and dealing with the nose-heavy deal. Lands very nicely on the big, wide, flat club field.
It developed quite a few wrinkles in the covering after flying, mostly on the fuselage. I've never worked with covering. Is this normal? Do I need to get an iron and heat gun? I tried a hair dryer but it didn't do anything and I didn't want to risk damaging the covering so I didn't push it too much.
