Default RE: Cosmo 25 SR anybody else have one?

I have one that I recently built from a kit that had been lying around for almost 15 years and had survived several moves, etc.

Actually, you might have a tough time recognizing it, because I decided to invert the fuselage, cowl the engine, and build it as a low-winger. I had a friend some years ago who had a really good flying Ace Super Pacer with a ST 25 in it and had always wanted to try a .25 sized airplane. It is powered by a piped OS25FSR, and that seems to be all the power it needs.

I have only flown it a couple of times and am still trying to get it trimmed out so I can decide whether I like it or not. I had almost doubled the rudder area, but it still lacks a bit of rudder authority, particularly in a vertical climb.

The kit wasn't bad, though it built up a bit on the heavy side.
