I sure agree with this entire thread. I have never had a plane that was so much fun, dependable and long lasting. Mine first flew with a Saito 40 two strole and flew for 2 years back in the early 90's.

Then I got into Electric, and converted it to Electric, (Astro Cobalt 15 Geared and 8 nicads) flew it for another year, and finally sold it for some dumb reason.

I'd sure like to track another one down, and build it again. With the outrunner motors and Li-Po's if should come in so much lighter and allow it to perform much better.
