review date: June 10, 2006

summary:

EPP foam flying wing
high aspect ratio for good gliding and docile cruising flight
factory recommended BL motor and GWS 4x4 prop work well with both 2S and 3S Li-Poly pack: light weight TP2S730 pack for gentle cruising flight at calm conditions, TP2S1320 pack for moderate wind conditions, TP3S910 for high-speed aerobatic flight.

strength:

easy to build
highly crash resistant
wide speed range, stable at gusty or strong wind conditions
inexpensive

weaknesses:

none for the design or flying performance

overall rating:

AAAAA (five of five): My most favorite airplane now

tips:

My elevon control throw is 4mm to 5mm (1/6" to 1/5") up/down at wing tip and I set 50% expo for normal cruising flight.

For precise and solid elevon control, I attached a carbon rod to each kit supplied wire control rod with heat shrink tubing and a few drops of CA to prevent rod bending (especially when servo pushes the rod).
