Alan,
Given what is currently available, I would not have bought this. The glass work is a little heavy and the parts fit is not good at all. I wanted an 8-cell (round cell) pattern plane and this was the only game in town at the time.
I would MUCH RATHER have an Aspera, as it can ROG, has more wing area, is build straight and flies superbly. I don't have an Aspera as I will work with this for a while. Right now, it is a little lighter than an Aspera, but an Aspera is a larger plane. I will be at NEAT this year and will be bringing it, if it survives until then.
