I got this kit last summer for building a plane for a guy. It was built, but no covered. I modified the wings, and powered it with a 46FX. I flew that plane hundreds of times, and still fly it regularly. 2 months ago, I decided to get a 'plans' built under my belt in anticipation for a Cobra biplane I have plans for. The Graupner middle stick had all the pieces printed on the plans (instructions were in German). It's built to stock; except the dihedral is taken out, sub LE formers eliminated, flaps added, and individual servos for ailerons, many lightening holes drilled throughout, and those are modified SIG Somethin Extra tail feathers, and trike gear converted to tail dragger, servos moved to the tail and waterproofed. OK, not much stock about it, I guess!

I used the freezer paper method to transfer the plans to the balsa. It weighs 4 pounds, 10 ounces, and is powered with the aforementioned 46FX (Saito 82 is on the other one). I've got crow mixed in, and is that ever COOL! No wind, and it just hangs in the same spot with the tail hanging down. It's a lot more agile than the other one, as that guy added over a foot to the wingspan for float flying (built 20 years ago). The one I built is also set up for Don Hungerford's Superior floats (available in Great Falls, MT), and I can't wait to go 'dashing through the snow' with it.
