My first P.S.S. plane. It's a good kit, with a glass fuse and foam core wings. It used the E374 airfoil, an older section that
was often used in the '70's and '80's on lots of slope planes. It is not my favorite airfoil. The plane tends to mush through turns and energy retention is not very good, but that is typical
of the E374 in my experience. It needs at least a moderate wind to be flyable, and in high wind its pretty fast.
It's also aerobatic, and will do nice rolls and loops. Although you'd never mistake it for anything then a Mustang, the fuse is streched, as are the wings.
*Jeff at Vortech informs me that the airfoil on this kit has been changed to the RG14, and that the planform has changed. I'm told
that it flies quite a bit better with this new wing.
