Inverted flat spins are amazing with a Sunbird. Getting them to stop spinning is a challenge! This is a very short coupled airplane as you can see from the pics. A very unusual design, the wing has a fairly short span yet a wide cord, giving it a lot of wing area yet a quick roll rate. The airfoil is semisymetrical with just the right thickness for a wide speed range. It slows down very nicely for landings. Its not a precision aerobatic airplane and it doesn't do 3D very well but its a kick in the pants to fly! This is my third .40 size Sunbird, I'm still kicking myself for selling the first two! The first one I built was from a kit that was missing a lot of parts including the tail surfaces. I cut my own parts using contest grade balsa and was rewarded with a very light airframe. It flew a lot better than the second one that was completely stock. I did a few things to lighten up this one so I hope she will fly as well as #1
