Hope the scaled up version flies better than the original.

I have the twin P82 built from two highly modified Fun 51 kits, a real stretch calling it a Twin Fun 51. I also have a plans built Fun 51 which flys great and is rapidly becoming my favorite sport plane. Once set up correctly I am impressed with the flying qualities of the little Fun 51. Just finished a plans built 33% BD8 this spring. Interestingly enough the Fun 51 flys a lot like the BD8. Both planes are short coupled and can be a handful until the correct amount of control throws and expo help are added.

My hope is the F51 Plus flys as good as the Fun 51. We will know in a few weeks. Maybe I should call this thing the F51" since the wingspan is 51", thoughts?

Thanks for the comments


More later.
