"This means it flies like a 2x4 rather than a Brick" -- Very funny!


I have a Meister ME109G that is almost ready to fly. I researched this plane quite a bit before buying it and corresponded with others who have flown this plane, including Lenny Smith who has built and flown a lot of these. My understanding is that the flat bottom wing of the Meister design generates a lot of lift (and drag), which allows the plane to fly relatively slow and makes landings easier. Of course this won't help the ground handling and I have been warned that takeoffs and landings can be tricky, especially on a paved runway.
