<DIV><FONT size=2>I've flown this airplane and its great for 3D/ Artistic
Aerobatics kind of flying. Its got a fairly solid speed range- feels
(relatively speaking) like a pattern plane at higher speeds, feels like a fun
fly plane at low speeds on high rates. I set one up with two rates,
standard and 3D. The airplane needed a little more right thrust and a
touch of up thrust for set up. It also needed some mixing with rudder
input but nothing extreme. The pilot was thinking it had massive
coupling (and aileron differential) problems, but actually what was happening
was the elevator was too sensitive so we dialed it down to under 10
degrees up and 10 degrees down for regular flying. High rate for
"3D" maneuvers. On high rate, it hovers great, torque rolls well, but
still feels stable.</FONT></DIV>
