I got this after the Mustang because I wanted something fast and aerobatic. The Dragonfly has a good roll rate, and it is fairly fast and aerobatic. I never really balasted it up to see how fast it would ultimately go, though. Energy retention with the swept modified Eppler 374 wing is okay, and the plane does tend to tip stall at lower speeds. Low lift flying performance is not great, especially with the tip stalling. Like the Mustang, I'd say this was a good plane, but not a great plane. By the way, the fuselage on this plane is really tough. I've crashed the Dragonfly pretty hard, but it's never broken.
This plane no longer exists as you see it here. After a few years, I combined it with a C.R. Turbo wingeron kit and it became the TurboFly.
