The Challenger is a breeze to hand launch compared to the Swift. I've even went so far as to adjust each aileron slightly upward(like elevators) for successful hand launching of my Swift.

Supposedly the Swift is replacing the Xtreme and that's where the problem begins for me. I didn't purchase the Swift so that I could perform the kind of sharp F-14 maneuvers done by Maverick in Top Gun. I wanted a colorful/cool looking glidder that was an aileron trainer. I wouldn't buy an aileron V-tail showbird to hone my "need for speed" with aerobatics and combat elusiveness. I'd buy a Stryker 27C.

For my tastes the aileron surface area on the Swift could be reduced in half. So, I'm going to start reducing the surface area of the ailerons and see what gives. Realizing I'm also reducing some lift so will adjust ailerons and elevator to compensate. I haven't decided yet whether I will begin reducing the surface area by putting holes in the ailerons or shortening their length or probably both. Even with half the aileron surface area the Swift will still be swift enough to elude any Challenger.

Will let you know if I find a happy medium in the kind of glidder/aileron plane I fancy. Of the inexpensive aileron choices on the market I really like the color scheme and looks of the Swift. It's beautiful! If I wanted a plane that was "swift" and "xtreme" I'd buy a Stryker 27C
