flap,

I have the Nosen version and would not necessarily recommend it. It comes out on the heavy side and it is very much a 'builder's' kit (a lot of work). Mine has quite a bit of scale built in (L4) that will add some weight, the all up heft is 22#. Balances just right with a Quadra 42 in the nose.

That all said, it is a pleasure to fly. Has been through a tremendous amount of use, and abuse, and is always begging for more. I have been flying it for about 11 years. Flown long cross-country events 3 times with it. It remains my favority.

Confused commentary, but what can I say.
