Is it plugin og bolt-on wing?

The plane does look marvellous, I've seen it before but the small pics I've seen did definately not do it justice!

I have been thinking about buying one of those as a pattern trainer. How does it perform in pattern type flying?

It sure looks great!

It is wonderfull like trainer for pattern, your profile is NACA 64A014,the proportions are like a F3A, 1.67m x 1.60 m, for me the bst engine for predator is YS 91, because OS FS 91 it is not much powerful one. CIAO ALFO.

Ciao Fonzie,
Sorry guys for the Italian reply, I will translate.

Fantastico. Ho visto la prova su una rivista francese.
Sembra proprio un bel modello.
Dove voli?
Io volo dalle parte di Brescia.
Complimenti per il tuo modello.
Ciao.

They advertise here. I bought mine through these folks and they were very helpful.

Question for other builders- This is my first time with a metal wing-tube. Should the tube be permanently attached to the fuselage or left loose in the fibre-glass guide tubes?

If any scandinavians are reading this, El flight in Denmark carries it at a reasonable price:

(Some pics there too, for those who don't speak Danish )

Rossan,
I don't know about how they built the wing tube on that kit but I HAD a japanese kit from Dash 45 which had a lose tube in the fuse and it work great.
Up to you.
