Yes, the rudder would be nice. The single gear was never really a problem that I remember? They just look so cool. I am in Michigan and used to run into Jeff once in a while. Last I heard, he was hurt at work and sold Diamond unlimited to a guy in Florida? The MA was the first plane I ever flew!(95 or 96) I did here Diamond has a new kit coming out. I am flying my Magic 3D right now but it is more like a sport plane than a FF. I slows down nice. I have all the programing dialed. Just have to mess around a bit. ---Mike
