Summary:

I fly this ship as a thermal sailplane with short high start and as a slope sailplane for light wind condition.  This airplane penetrates well and is controlable in gusty condition.

Strengths:

thin, light weight and strong wing
fine construction
full flaperon
two piece wing and removable stab for ease of transport

Weaknesses:

narrow pod refuses medium size battery pack

Overall rating:

AAAA  (four of five)
