Since alot of others have posted pics, so will I. The plane was an absolute pleasure to build. I powered with an O.S. .91 Surpass II and my final weight was 6lbs 11 oz.

I don't share the unbelievable flight performance as most others. I thought it was an OK flying plane, nothing more, nothing less. I only got about 20 flights on it before a mid air with a trainer. The plane snapped far to easily in my opinion, elevator throw had to be set at a minimal or it would snap out of loops.

The plane is currently awaiting rebuild, its far from being destroyed, but due to the un-impressive flights I had with it, the rebuild has been shelved for the time being.

I will say, my voice in regards to this plane has been by far in the minority. Most others have absolutely loved this plane, I'm just not one of them. If I had to do it over, I would have put a .91 two stroke in this plane.
