tIan, thankx for the comparison between the SS and the T34. I was wondering if they flew differently. re: " From what I hear the SS40 is a better performing plane than the SS40S" I read that too which ticked me off that I could only get the "S" version. However I can not complain about any of the flight characteristics of my Super Sports! I try more things with it every time I take it to the field and am more impresed all the time. It does like to land fast but I appreciate a plane that comes down at a good clip with no nonsense and ignores the wind gusts! For me it makes it very predictable to spot land it.
