<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I had the same "easy to fly" experience with my
ICEPOINT last year. As recently as Wednesday this week, I watched George Asteris
fly his ICEPOINT through the P-05 schedule. He flew it all day with ease. Even
allowing for the highly tuned piloting skills of a experienced FAI pilot, you
could see that the plane was doing the job.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>George would do some post pattern flight slow and
low rolls, knife-edges etc. and land at a crawl with a big smile on his face. I
think that Bob has the same smile after his experiences. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Mine never needed any mixes for KE. The only
tuning that I did was to adjust the stab until the elevator trim was
set to neutral in flight. (The wing is fixed).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As well as posts on Bob's site and a thread on RCU,
you can also read my review of the kit on RCU. This plane is a full size pattern
starter ARF that is competitive and one that you can recommend.</FONT></DIV>

Original message -------------- <BR><BR>> To save a lot of
typing................. <BR>> IF you want a TRULY outstanding,
F3A-capable PARF, buy one. And then just <BR>> enjoy the h&%# out of
it. <BR>> <BR>> Mine - built dead stock, needed 2 beeps of right
rudder, 2 beeps of down <BR>> elevator. That's it. <BR>> The
performance of this airplane is very, very good, and it's presentation
<BR>> in the air looks like a million$$. <BR>> <BR>> Having done
some 2M PARF's, this one is by far the very best, right out of <BR>> the
chute, of any that I've flown. <BR>> <BR>> Buy one today, be ready for
a contest next week. <BR>> <BR>> (didn't get to do a LOT of trimming,
as the battery came loose and was going <BR>> from firewall to rudder
servo... pretty hard to tell much. Got really weird <BR>> in the second
flight. But that first one is burned into the brain-DVD.) <BR>> <BR>>
