There are several rudder/elevator planes on the combat scene now. I too, like the Down Home RC product.

I built a little bull to try this year in Open B combat. I am impressed with its aerial performance, but am concerned about durablility. I wish the wing foam was EPP. I built an extra set of tail feathers from coroplast and will be able to replace at the field.

I have a TT Pro.25 with a mousse can style muffler that runs very well.
