Got to luv these rant and rave sessions...How can people have a honey moon period with any airplane. I have never pulled one off the board and flew it with great luv. Always with a tweak here and a tweak there and then we will see. Planes fly different and people fly different..I have met with a few that were absolute dogs, even though they were popular kits. Then I have had planes that people trashed and the kits were off the market quickly that I luved, and after 20 yrs (cap-21) still have in the basement (any cures for extreme oil soaked wood, already been k'd twice).
Mike I remember your session with the Razzel, how great a plane it was, how light it was, and how the ***** end kept falling apart. Sometimes light isn't better.
I think people need to fly it before they say anything based on weight, wing loading, and thrust. Then base that on the type of flying and set up.
Why trash a plane you don't have, probably won't get and won't get enough time on the sticks to see if it is actually quality or not. Hear say is only that, it is based on my set up, my flying style (ability), and my perception of what a quality plane is.
My philosiphy is if I don't own one, ask questions but never make a judgemental comment. Then people will listen more and these forums won't have so much trash to route through to get the quality information.

Just my 2 cents, would give more but I don't make enough...
