Default VQ Beaver

Just got a good look at the GS (112") Beaver from VQ at Hobby People. Looks pretty good. Does anyone have any first hand knowledge?

Very stable in flight but also very responsive. Ailerons very lively and large loops are no strain. Some ballooning with 1/2 flaps and quite a lot with full flaps - easy to mix out. Weighs about 19lbs.

Looks very nice, except the cowl. The designer must have had a bad day on the cowl. [&:] Where is the big round hole to put a radial dummy into?
