Piroflip, probably not, but the SS2 in the pic next to the Atlas only took around 4 weeks, it's a pretty simple build. Took me almost as long to get the gear in as it took to build, and if you get the SS1 plan without retracts, it might be even quicker. As to the first question, which of the listed models is the all round best, I would have to rank them Blue Angel, Curare and a distant 3rd, Magic. Just from the models of them I have flown, you understand.
