Default Super Emeraude

I stoped in my L.H.S. last weekend and they had a World Models Super Emeraude on clearance for $89.00. I thought about the plane all week and when I went in today to buy some airplane parts the plane was still there at that price and I bought it. It'a a 60 size plane and looks to be a plane that will be an easy flier for someone like me without alot of experience. I have not seen or read alot about this plane does anyone have any experiences that they can share. I plan on using my Magnum .60 2 stroke.

I've got one to put together myself, with a Saito 72 all broken in ready to go. You got yours for 89 bucks?!!, that's one heck of a steal.

The full scale Super Emeraude is an all wood home built designed by Claude Piel. There are many variations. My rendition of a 1/4 scale Pinocchio, also designed by CP, was made from the WM Emeraude. It's powered by a TT .61 Pro spinning a MA 12 x 7 prop using a SonicTronics 310 plug and 5% Omega. The high dihedral makes it a challenge to fly inverted, otherwise it flies gracefully as a swan and will fly backwards in a bit of a headwind.
I simply re-covered the top of the fusilage and re-designed the fin and rudder and added a pine mounting block for the landing gear.
Be advised that the elevator yoke-type pushrod wires require that they are trapped internally to avoid flutter! Otherwise the model will balance without additional weight.

please explain "trap internally" the elevator pushrods. I am at this point in the assembly of this plane. The plane is going together rather nicely. The fit is good and the quality appears to be good as well. I will post some pictures in the next day or so.
