| Initial Impressions: |
This kit took me about 3 months to build. It went together pretty well using plain 'ol wood glue. I remember that the smooth plastic strip hinges came loose on the 2nd flight, I had to go back and pin them in place. Other than that, I don't remember too much about it.. |
|
| Flying Impressions: |
Again, this was a long time ago. I recall that my instructor thought it a bit "hot" for a trainer. It flew fine with 3 channels. We probably put 15 flights on the plane before it succumbed to Controlled Flight into Terrain on one of my first takeoff attempts. |

Flight Prep: This plane had an airfoiled horizontal stab, an unusual feature in smaller models even today. |
