Farr
I think it flew great for its purpose. I was able to fly nearly a whole flight inverted and do several basic aerobatics with it before it met its demise with another mobile inanimate object. The builer of the PT-40 crashed the first 3 times he tried to fly it and finally let me have a go at it once it got her fixed. It was the plane I pretty much tought myself how to fly on until she died. Once I get to my next duty station I will either build another one, or buy an Avistar to replace it. BTW, the wing I mentioned earlier was another wing kit he purchased for it; we built it wiht less dihedral and installed dual aileron servos. I had to modify the wing to fit the Avistar fuse by cutting away the TE of the wing where it sits in the fuse.
