gboulton,
Ok, time for to step in here and give a little bit of advice. Not someone at the field who has a friend who's brother knows somebody that talked to another guy who saw one flying once.... But first hand knowledge. IMHO the Ultra Sport is the best flying sport plane ever built. Once you build one and fly it this plane will become the plane that ALWAYS goes to the field with you. They fly that well!! There is no way you can go wrong with a Ultra Sport. My favorite is the Ultra Sport 60, but unfortunately it is out of production. I love it so much that I have been watching the marketplace and swap meets for kits for sale, and so far I have 4 of them in the closet for future builds. But I have flown the new 40 and it's just as nice of a flyer, only in a 40 size.

Hope this helps

Ken
