To me this plane is fascinating. I'm amazed by the stall speed of 20 mph. It
sounds like it would be a great idea for soaring around very scenic areas,
where you don't want to rush around all of the time. As well, it would be
comforting to know that if an emergency landing was needed in an
un-inhabitable area, that the crash could be at very slow speed. If it's
durable, easy to assemble/disassemble, and reasonably priced I believe this
would make and excellent club ship.

For soaring, this is it.
New racing class?
Why fly fast when you can fly slower.
What's a rush anyway?
Race slower, cover less ground, easier retrieve.
