Default RE: Hanger 9 Tango

I saw a Tango at the local hobby shop. I was pleasantly surprised to see the nice touches, such as the pre-plumbed fuel tank and pre-trimmed windshield. It is a very different looking plane, with its short fuse, large control surfaces, and close coupling (the elevator/rudder and main wing are very close). I am sure it could be easily mistaken for a Lazy-Bee if the corners on the top wing were rounded with the airframe painted in a similar color scheme, but the Tango is more attractive. The thick airfoil and large control surfaces give a certain conformity and purpose to the Tango's appearance. The color scheme looks bold, yet conservative, like it was designed to perform a specific task (orientation when the plane is spinning like a fishing lure in flight, for example). The colors contrast nicely and go well together. I am sure it will do just about anything that's tossed its direction. An RCU review would be an interesting read.
