Description: This was a built up balsa kit, a real joy to put together. Hats off to HoB for making such a well fitting & well thought-out kit. She flies as well as she looks although the ample dihedral tends to interfere with some aerobatic maneuvers. As this is my first low-wing the added stability is a plus. A great little park flyer.

Description: I got this plane 90% built from a swap meet. Created a cowl, added a motor & electronics. For some reason the ailerons are really small & consequently the roll rate is somewhat pitiful. That actually worked out fairly well as I've been using her as a trainer with a buddy-box setup to teach a friend to fly. The sedate roll rate is a good thing for new flyers.

Description: A great little trainer/park flyer. I added 3" low-profile wheels for grass operation. Also added an extra spring to the main gear's suspention as I over-extended the stock springs from a hard landing. Other than that she's stock.
