Got the Maiden in on the Shoe with the Saito FA-80 in it. I was skeptical that it would fly at all, but it did. It actually had a little speed to it to boot. However, I can plainly see that I will have to update eventually. The handling is superb. Rolls are blazing fast. It will do a full pull loop without a hint of snapping out and keep right on chugging. Landings are fasst like I rememebr them, but that's not a big deal since I have a 2200' x 80' runway to play on. If I can't land it on that, I need to take up another hobby. Mine carries itself on 3.25" wheels under the pants and handles very well on grass. The previous owner beefed up the gear area nicely and it shows. The grass was pretty high. I look forward to stretching this one out for years to come.
No t sure if your aware of this but I use Kavan wheels on everything I have. They have save my planes from quite a bit of damage. They are made of hard plastic. What this does is if you come in to fast and have to commit--or abort a takeoff. You can slide the plane sideways with no wheel hopping like its on ice. You do this with sullivan or skylight and your going to rip out the gear and or other major damage.
