I agree about the Excelleron / YS 1.10 combo. Tom and I were just discussing the possible
merits of an Infinity .90 compared to the Excelleron. Although the Infinity looks pretty , it
would really surprise me if it flies better or even as good as the Excelleron. This airplane is
capable of some extremely good scoring if flown by a good pilot , it sure flies better than I
can fly it at the moment. Gonna take some serious practice before next season.

I've tried a few advanced maneuvers just to see what it's capable of and it can do anything
the pilot knows how to do. It has a very pretty break just before it enters a spin (either direction)
and it snaps very sharply stopping instantly when the controls are neutralized. The roll rate can
be as smooth or as fast as you want as the ailerons are very effective. The rudder authority
is unbelievable , performs knife edge loops without even using full deflection !!
This is the easiest airplane to land I have ever flown , just line it up with the runway and basically
leave it alone until right before touchdown. If you have to stretch the landing it will float for a very
long way without any wing tip dropping.

They must be built pretty straight as mine is flying right now with no trim changes since the first
flight , just the way it came off the building table. The only change I'm considering is maybe a
3 or 4 blade prop but it's flying so good now I'll probably leave it alone.

I'm pretty sure there are probably better airplanes out there but to say I'm happy with my
Excelleron is an understatement , especially for what it costs. My only regret about this
airplane is I didn't buy another one when Hobby People had them on sale for $199.95
