This kit has to be worst kit building experience I have ever had.

It was one of the older fully built up kits, they also did a similar size spitfire and mustang.

There was SO MUCH WORK for such a tiny little 'plane. Not a bad kit as such , contents quality actually very good, but terrible instructions. I finished mine, still have it , looks great, scale outline, but is is massively overweight and very unpleasant to fly.

I nicknamed it "the doodlebug" because it is so unstable and comes in like a V1 buzz bomb. Wing loading is so high that controlled landings are almost impossible. It taught me a lesson about WHY we aeromodellers are exhorted to build light. I have learnt the lesson with this 'plane.

The kits are no longer being made. I'm not surprised.

Anyone else successfully flown one?
