Default I HAD one

Do not remember the weight, but it did have a terrible snap with the recomended full low rate elevator.

Never had a landing problem, but then again, I hate to flair much. I like to softly plant them in the grass and let the grass slow it down.

This practice was hard to overcome when I got my hands on a thunder tiger cub, so I sold it.

But, this practice is needed for my current pattern plane. If I tried a scale flair, it would float 300 yards before leaving ground effect.

I modified my landing gear by shifting it a full 2 " forward of its stock position. The plane was ok, but in my opinion, not worth the time to build.
