huge thumbs up for the Cougar over anything else in it's class, i've got one of the very first imports, tho i'm on my second fuz due to some bad wood, not that the first isn't still useable. it takes so much abbuse and flys so well. i don't think my wing has a solid rib left but it still takes all the G's i can throw at it and a few dorks. even won the last fly for fun with the tatty old dog! 6 min flight from a 20 second climb, would have been longer, but i won by 2 mins already and everyone was bored.
i use a Leo 37 and 11x4 Master, great combo
