COMMENTS: The Difference Between A Good & A Great Aerobatic Performer Is Its
Slow Speed Handling, Ease and Predictability In Flight. This
Kit Is Truly A GREAT Performer -- It Can Be A Newer Modelers Second
Low-Wing Aircraft, or A Seasoned Competitor's Competition Airplane.
This Model Is IDEAL For Smooth, Clean, Scale or Pattern Aerobatic
Competition. It Is Exceptionally Good At Manuevers Such As
Vertical Snaps, Rolling Circles and Torque Rolls. It Is A GREAT
Choice For PATTERN, For All Levels of minIMAC and IMAC Competition.
Its Clean Lines and Overall "Presence" in the Air Means It Appears
A Much Larger Model, and Will Judge Quite Well, Particularly with
a .70 or .91 4-Stroke.
Flutter is a Very Real Concern On All Truly Aerobatic Aircraft. This
Model Is NOT Intended for Exceptionally High Speed, and as such
This Design REQUIRES A Prop with No More Than A 6 Pitch. This Is
Not A Flaw of the Aircraft, But A Side Effect of the Exceptional
Aerobatic Capabilities of This Aircraft.
Box Covering Scheme is Royal Blue, Cub Yellow, Jet White, Red Trim.
