Default RE: Skylark 70

I wrote the RCU review of the Skylark 70 and I stand by everything I said in the review. It is a wonderful airplane.

I have flown the 4* 40 (But not the 60) and the Tiger 60. I won't make any comparisons to the 4* since I haven't flown the 60 size, but comparing it to the Tiger, I would call it a knotch more advanced.

It is easily as stable at the Tiger, but it is sleeker. The Skylark's airfoil has a sharper leading edge, so it slices through the air more easily. It will still slow down and fly very nicely at slow speeds, but it is a bit more maneuverable than the Tiger.

I would say that the Tiger is a little better when it comes to slow-speed flying, but the Skylark is better in the areas of speed and performance.

Similar to the Kaos, but not as advanced as the Revolver.
