Always wanted one of these; and summers on it's way.........

Flew mine for the first time yesterday; it was way too windy for a maiden flight, but temptation got the better of me... Flew a couple of circuits before bringing her in, and despite the gusty conditions she coped very well; landing was a non event, she just settled in as soon as the throttle was cut. I fitted a Saito 82 which, when canted a few degees from fully inverted, fits inside the cowl without any cutting required.  The 82 is a very light engine so I had to add a fair amount of nose weight to bring the COG forward.  Seems to have plenty of power. This model is amazingly well finished for the price, and builds very well.  In my opinion it's a real bargain.
