Hello

Was wondering if anyone has ever built one of these ? if so any hints or tips I will be starting on this week . I won it on ebay lol for 75$$ so I hope I didnt waste my money looks like it will be a fun little plane .

I've had one, my mentor built two. on teh second he increased teh elevator area. Getting the cg right is critical as is lateral balance. Make sure the control surfaces work nearly perfectly. It requires ALOT of a take off roll to build up airspeed before you rotate for take off, other wise it will roll in on take off. needs speeed for turns and landing. good luck, Doc

might be a nonflying model lol why couldnt you say it flys nice and good lol oh well its only 75$$ should be fun cant wait to see what mods i can do to it . Thinking of flaps heard its a fast landing plane but we will see in a few days

Think of it as the jet it really is, just with a prop on it. You have to fly it as a jet. LOOOONNNGGG takeoff roll to build up SPPED before you rotate, or it will rotate itself right in... Impressive plane when you get it going. Doc

I've heard they fly a lot like an Ultra Sport...they share pretty much the same wing, same airfoil anyway. Lots of work..If you like to build and like to glue ABS parts together (wing tanks, dummy engines) then you'll love this plane. I enjoyed building one but sold it to a fellow club member before it was finished.

Don't let it get overweight, that's all. After that, it will fly like a Patriot. It doesn't even land particularly fast...it's just that people tend to land them too fast. Take it up high and find out the slow flight handling. You'll soon find that it's really very manageable.

Thanks for the info . This plane is going to be built but not flown for abit im just getting back into flying after having a few years off (( two new children and that damn thing called work )) at the moment im just going to build it then when I get the thumbs nimbale again I will give it a try but im writing this all down for later use . Hey I just bought a futaba 6AX its a nice radio and looks like it should be fun to learn to program it [X(] thanks again for the info

Only one I ever saw fly did not fly long!! Give it a looong take off because when it rotates the elevator becomes some what blocked and not very effective until speed is obtained. The one I saw took off, stalled, rolled over, and landed - crashed - and the owner moved on.
