Hello,

After following this thread for a little while, I finally decided to bite the bullet and get the plane. Sprit Model only had the yellow version left which suited me well, since I like the color: it is an easy color to see at a distance. The plane arrived in 6 days and in perfect condition. When I first lifted the shipping box I was surprised as it felt heavy, but after taking the it apart I realized that it had been lined with 3 mm plywood! Needless to say, the plane arrived undamaged.

My first impression was WOW! Very nicely built plane and very light. I am currently working on a Fliton Extra 330 (the 60" one) which is also very well built but not as light. I am impressed. I am just getting started in pattern and would like to use this plane as my pattern trainer, but also hope to take it to a contest or two to see what it is like. I would just be flying the sportsman schedule.

I have enclosed a couple of photos of the plane next to the WM Groovy 50 3A which I currently fly. The Angel is definitely bigger and the fuselage just looks huge by comparison. The Groovy weight 5.5 lbs ready to fly (electric) and I am hoping to keep the Angel under 6 lbs. The Groovy is a good flier, but I suspect that the Angel is a much better plane.

Can't wait for spring.
