Default RE: Did I buy the wrong plane?

After looking long and hard, I decided to build my own foamy. I found some plans for one called an "STC" by a guy called "Waterdog" and it flies super! It looks like a Cub. Except for the electronics, I've got about $5.00 in materials into it. That way I won't feel bad if it gets wadded up into a ball! It's proven to be at least 3 times as tough as the Skyfly and a lot of fun to build. It's perpetually in the back of my car and I fly it any time the wind is slight - at least 4X a week.
It's much more responsive and slower than the Skyfly and building it myself was probably the best part. It took only a few hours.

My son is totally jazzed with it and we'll be building a foam P-51 and ME 109 to chase each other around with
