ORIGINAL: Boeing727
Point of information :
Contrary to the grim comments displayed in earlier posts.......Brett's Perigee is a smooth flying pattern bird hardly requiring a "master" at it's controls.
If you had/have a "snapper" on your hands - check the balance . If you have wash in - rest assured that Tom was smarter than that.
Period.
Well said----you should see the plane up close. Tom was a engineer and a meticulous builder. I think a lot of the "bad rap" the plane got was because of the low quality of the kit, and heavy wood. The plane needs to be kept light, (5-5 1/2 lbs)
