I thought the same thing when I first stumbled across them a month ago. I looked at them and thought there's no way these planes can fly as well as they say. So I invested $12 on materials and a combined time of about one day building one to see for myself how it would do and boy was I surprised. It flies great.

I appreciate a good looking and well built balsa airplane as much as the next guy; but I also like having something that I can just throw in the truck and go fly.
