Glad to see you made it over again John.
They are raced on the standard 1/2A three pole course.
If you think this one is small, it has 157 sq inches of wing area. The Russian designed Stinger only has 75 sq inches of wing area and weighs 10-12 ounces. It is even faster, though it has higher piloting demands from what I've heard.
It took me a month of soft soybeans at the flying field to get where I could launch and fly it by myself. Until then I had to get someone to launch it for me. You really have to heave these things because the prop is stalled. Then you just try to keep it level until the plane catches up with the prop.
You have a Trick R/C Zagi, don't you? Have you seen the Trick R/C Razor fly? I've heard it's really zippy with it's 30" wingspan.
