Default RE: Would this be a good 3rd plane kit ?

I think that this is an excellent kit to build, as well as a good 3rd plane. I have a Slow Poke 40 with an OS 52 Surpass on it. This is one of my all time favorite planes. Mine has well over 500 flights on it and it still goes to the field with me all the time. The only bad habit the plane has IMHO is that it's got a small bit of adverse yaw when turning with the ailerons. But coordinating the turns with the rudder will take care of this. I have a mix in my radio to do this for me, but I've done it manually in the past as well.
