This plane is NOT lacking on rudder authority!!!! Snap performance is fine. I had the pleasure of flying Ryan's last month. It is a very good plane!

It is an FAI level plane, one of the best out there for the F patterns especially. You breathe on the rudder, it moves.

It's not as affected by wind as most other planes of this size. It's a pretty well thought out design actually. The one I flew had an OS 160...no power issues at all, and the downlines were very tame.

I know Jason likes his, but he could fly a trainer and whip most of us. I just thought I'd give a more "mortal" perspective.
