I appreciate all opinions.....The plane is finished exquisitely and I may purchase the darn thing if nothing more to hang it from the garage ceiling......the dollar amount is low enough that I wouldn't fret if I crashed it early on.....The engine and assorted parts might be worth close to the asking price, who knows?

For what its worth, this particular plane has a well mounted steerable tail wheel......the store owner tells me with the wheel and use of the rudder, it should handle reasonably well on the ground......he also says I'll probably lose interest as its stunt capabilities are very limited.....see? More opinions......and thats what I'm looking for.....thanks, all!
