Default Wingo

I had a Soarstar which I think is better value - same plane as Wingo but with geared drive instead of direct drive (and cheaper). It's a nice plane, but I got a bit tired of it. It is very light with a huge wing, so flies great, but best in calm weather. Glides very slowly. It depends on what sort of flying you like doing. I had a small disposable camera strapped to front - lots of people use them for aerial photography (especially with Aiptek pencam digitals)

I traded it recently on a cermark New Timer - nice fibreglass fuselage and built up wing and tail. Direct drive 480 motor. I haven't made it up yet (sitting under Christmas tree) but others say it flies great - good thermalling. Can't put floats on it though.

Hope this helps.
