Ken,
I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at how good the Excelleron flies as long as you
load it with enough power and keep the weight around 8 lbs. The CG seems to be very
important also. It flies OK at other settings but it "grooves" best at the 7 1/4" mark.
I haven't flown the Dream but I have flown a Quest and the Excelleron is much smoother.
I agree with Bob about the 2 meter ships , they DO fly better. If you're going to spend
money on a new ship you might as well go for the real deal, that's what I'm doing. I finally
talked myself into an OTOP, can't wait till it arrives. I really like my Excelleron but I'm sure
looking forward to the OTOP.
