I picked up a fully built Coyote a couple months ago, and have only
had a chance to fly it once from the top of Loveland Pass, CO. As stated, it's
fast, but not fast by today's standards (I've got a Nemesis and Miraj F3F to
compare it to). It takes quite a lot of nose weight to balance. Somewhere
on the order of 6oz, bringing the AUW to 41oz which isn't horrible for a 72" glider,
but not great either. I got it basically to get my hands on
the indestructible Duralene fuselage, and I figure I'll fly it until the
wings are destroyed, and then build new wings for it which have
a faster airfoil. Looking forward to flying it this winter though.
I really wanted it to be my crunchie that I can fly in places I wouldn't normally
try to land a crunchie.
The ailerons are a very small percentage of the chord which gives it
a less than snappy roll rate, and is probably why they don't work well
as flaperons.
On the bright side, it's very distinctive in the air. Very scale jet-like
in appearance. It should be able to handle most of our big air too.

I also found a neat trick for restoring old dirty Duralene with the dremel's
buffing wheel and a couple wooden sticks to rub it down smooth and
polished.
