Default RE: Aerobird Swift problems.

The Super Cub doesn't cost that much more, but doesn't come with ailerons. The Swift is definitely a beauty. The problem for me is that the company made the Swift more xtreme then necessary for my tastes, but it wasn't designed to be marketed to old-timers like myself. Any way, my fancy is for a glidder with ailerons as I don't have the "need for speed" for combat flying and the thrill of registering a kill. Where else can you buy a beautiful lookin glidder for $135 with addons like paratrooper drop module, sonic combat module and night light module?

I wanted a cool looking inexpensive glidder with ailerons and for the money I would buy it again even knowing its problems with motor mount, wing connectors and wing spar fuselage damage.

I don't like the looks of the toyish BeginAir aileron plane plus it isn't available in area hobby shops. I wouldn't buy a plane unless I could first see it up close and touch it. I don't mean to "spoil" your enthusiasm for the response of the Swift ailerons, but each to their own.
