Don't touch it with a ten foot pole....

Now send me the sellers phone # and I'll personally chew him out ;)

I have one with an OS 70 FS for power and SpringAir retracts to keep it
looking good during low passes.

It is a good flyer, but can be tough to take off and land due to the landing
gear being very close to the C of G. It is OK on hard surfaces, but it is
hard to land without nosing over on grass...

A fellow flyer adjustet his retracts by putting washers under the rear
mounts to swing the gear forward. This helps a lot. He uses an SC 52 FS and
that is enouch power.

I picked one up from Tower on clearance for $122 a few years ago.  It flies
great and I really enjoy it.  Mine is powered by an inverted Super Tigre G51
which provides plenty of performance.  The model does tend to want to nose
over when on the grass.

The only complaint I have is the sticky-backed covering material.  But for
the price, you can't beat it.

Good flying,
