They look nice but how do they fly. It is extremely light in weight, what does this mean to the pilot. Thanx I flew one for a few years(N8530L).. I was told the it had poor spin characteristics.. so I never spun it.. It is a Pod and Boom type construction.. which allowed NO real fuselage to slip the aircraft.. so I see how getting out of a spin is might be difficult... It was really difficult to assemble the wings.. the alignment was not perfect.. It had a Ballistic Parachute.. which could carry the entire aircraft to the ground. The 28 HP engine was never used by me.. the last I heard it was hanging in a Museum in Texas. J.F Butrick |
