Ahoy Rich
Flies very well like a typical biplane very good on the controls when coming in for a landing a lot of up elevator and a little more throttle to keep the prop wash over the stabilizer when she sets on her legs give her a tad more throttle to keep her from nosing over. these type of new RC planes on the Market are all out of foam This is one thing I am not to keen on is using foam although this is the new state of art on material being used in todays
RC planes. most of my Rc planes are all out of balsa wood covered with mono coat or similar covering material that are available . My wonderful Wife Ruthie bought this for me for Christmas yesterday I took her out for her maiden flight flew like a dream

Nice one Skipper. Don't blame you for getting out of those four walls. The sun will do you good and give you some much needed vitamin D - that makes us all feel GOOD. See you back here when the weather turns. Take care and have fun. I got the monitor for Chez the same week as she was in hospital, not taking any chances. Thanks for you concern, will keep you posted. She is doing O.K Grandad

All the best to you and Ruthie, from the both of us.
