Building

Cost/Value 8.5 Middle of the road on expense
Availability 10.0 If you want one you can get it, at least until people find out how good this plane is
Orientation/Visual 8.0 I thought the purple disappears with certain light conditions, but not too bad
Durability 8.5 No problems yet but looks and feels fragile to me
Weight 8.5 On the high side of scale but within specs
Manual 9.0 The best, easiest to understand manual
Hardware 9.0 I used everything except the wheels which are small for grass and the tailwheel which is very nice but too big
Build Quality 9.0 Builds easier than the Yak and about the same as the Mayhem. Nice quality but light
Covering 9.5 Quality stuff and looks good but some of the trim peeled off


Total 80/9 = 8.9

Flying

Knife Edge 9.0 Does them easy and nice with just a little stick input
Harrier 9.0 Pretty easy but also requies spoileron
Rolling Circle 9.5 Very nice, pure and easy
Waterfalls 9.5 Very, very cool with this plane especially with the SFGs.
Staircases 9.5
Rolling Harriers n/a
Inverted Flat Spin 9.0 Very easy and nice and flat, better with SFGs. Can hold but cannot rise
Upright Flat Spin 9.0 Does them easy and nice
Hover 9.5 Very easy to do and upright, Best with SFGs
Precision Flying 9.0 Almost exactly the same as the Yak
Landing 9.0 Very easy but harder with SFGs because of ground clearance

Total 92/10 = 9.2

Fun Factor 10.0 This is the greatest plane to fly. Very confidence inspiring. Will flip, turn, spin, hover, 3D with the best of them. The SFGs make it crazy fun. What a plane!!!

Total Rating: 8.9 + 9.2 + 10.0 = 28.1/3 =9.4

Comments:
1. Beautiful airplane
2. Most unique with the SFGs. Like getting two airplanes in one. Very creative.
3. Most fun to fly, at least between these 3 airplanes
4. Used pull/pull on rudder. Nice that there was a mount in the tail and the body for either configuration. Nice touch
5. Tailwheel was too big but a nice unit
6. Didn't reinforce a thing. Fine the way it is but does look to be built light
7. Changed tires because I wanted bigger for grass. Stock unit are nice but small
8. Does one of the best flat spins I've seen

This plane is the greatest from a fun stand point and very creative with the SFGs. My hat is off to Mike and to Hanger 9. A lot of plane for the money and you can get it. What a joy to fly.

One more to do.
Thanks
