I've never seen one of those. It sure looks streamlined.

FBD.

deff looks streamlined, but the thing that has me wondering is that that is a cad image of the plane, and not the plane itself

it LOOKS like it was designed with a thiner wing, but thats just a guess, because theres no way to tell if tthat was a image done during the design phase, or just for advertising

as hot as it looks, id suggest maybe finding something quite similar from a better known company .... something people have had more experience with

thats at least what i would think of doing if i myself was interested in the Mantua Kosmo

It's an Italian brand, Mantua, but it is also sold under the Aviomodelli brand (Italian too).

you can go for it... it s the same kind as the curare or so.... the kosmo 3 is all wooden frame, exept the elevator made from foam, the kosmo 4 is same but with foam wing... a fuselage tray is provided for straight construction..; the wood is fine, the cutting is laser made but some balsa parts are just printed and need to be cut... it is the perfect old fashion kit, and the plane has been legendary here, in europe...(3 times winner of the italian championship, 1975, 1976, 1977...)..
should be enough for most of us...

Put a good .60 on it and go "ballistic"
