RE: durplane help and questions

You seem to be a craftsmen, everyone else in the world isn't. So you judge them based on your own standards? I am a craftsman myself but in my own way. I highly doubt I could build my own 'arrows'...

I own a duraplane trainer 40. I think it is a decent airplane. I wouldn't think it to be a good first airplane though. It seems to be mediocre in flight and ground handling is twitchy at best. ...
