All of your assumptions are correct Dick.

BTW, I reviewed the Aerobat for RCU Magazine a few years ago and it was one of my all-time favorites. I was very disappointed when they went under.

I'm glad you mentioned the Aerobat because that is what this plane reminds me of. It's like a 60-size Aerobat.

The Protégé has a flat-bottom wing, and the Aerobat had a semi-symmetrical wing, but that doesn't seem to matter much in the way of performance.

So yea, that's a good analogy - Picture the Protégé as a 60-size Aerobat - It's an excellent plane all around.

Builds quick, flies great, and it's got a good price for a 60-size plane ($189)
