My Feedback: (23)
I had one it was a steal at 99.00. Used an OS 46FX to power it. Instructions are useless. The wheel pant install did not make sense, and since I fly off grass I just ditched them. Put about 75 flights on it before I sold it for 75.00. I figure it was a cheap way to test out a new plane maker. Would I get another one yes. But, not at this time, I have other planes that are calling me to build. The plane flew fine, did nice loops and rolls and stall turns. Drop me a line if you have anyother questions.

A guy in our club has one and really likes it. He has an OS 61 la on his I think it flies a litle hot but hay its his plane. Nice plane though . I built the seagull ultimate and it was well put together but like prevously stated the manual leaves alot to be desired. but if you take your time you will have no probs putting it together.

Good plane for the money.
Excellent flight characteristics.
Tends to yaw HEAVILY at runup.
I had over 75 flights on mine when I lawn darted it.
I still miss it.
No problems in the build and I found nothing wrong with the instructions, but a few things ( like the engine mount ) required more work than indicated.
The supplied mount is a little small for a .46 engine.
This plane needs at least a .46 ( NON-LA ) type engine as it is not light.
It does float in for gentle landings.
