Default RE: CMPro Lancair

I have a few big 120 size planes and bunch of 40 / 50 size planes. I would agree that the smaller planes are tight. However, most of my smaller planes are warbirds. Over powered, oversize fuel tanks, nose heavy and, with retracts they end up on the heavy side. Small, fast and, extremely responsive.

The CMP looks like it will not be disappointing. It's no warbird but it has plenty of aileron so the roll rate looks good. Because of the relatively short fuselage, I think the elevator will be tender ... very small control throws. Wing has enough dihedral to keep the plane stable and the wing tips can only help. All in all I think this plane will do good in the air.

Started assembly last night after work. It's going together nicely. Can't wait to get home this afternoon to do more!
