My Feedback: (2)

I was looking on the Jet-Hobbies web site and saw this plane. They say it is coming soon. What do you guys think of this plane? Anybody have any experience with this type of plane? Any comments will be appreciated. Thanks.

The Mosquito is [link=http://www.jet-hobbies.com/jhl/docs/airplanes/mosquito/mosquito.html]here[/link]

I just had a look at the specs and they're a bit worrying to me:

I've got a Twinstar NIB and can compare the stats:

Twinstar

span 56"
length 49.5"
Wing area 36.6 sq dm
Wing load 73g/sq dm
weight 5.5 - 6.5 lb

Mosquito

span 73"
length 52.5"
Wing area 53 sq dm
Wing load 94-98/sq dm
weight 11 - 11.5 lb

As a Twinstar specifies 2 x .20- .40 engines, there is no way that this plane could fly on 2 x .25 -.32 engines. Also, I think that the size and wing loading would make it fast and difficult to handle compared to other twins of this size...

The Mosquito must be made of lead to be that heavy. My Twinstar was 6lbs with 40's on it and was too easy to fly, so I sold it.
