A lot of fun on the slope, flys suprising well in suprisingly little lift. Must be flown like most large scale planes, smoothly and with care to maintain airspeed and energy. A well-flown one in decent lift can put on quite a show of graceful linked aerobatics, much the same as a glass model would.
Care must be exercised on winch launch, as the wings and airframe are somewhat flexible compared to glass. Flutter or other odd behavior can occur. Same with prolonged, steep dives.
It aerotows well, and thermals well, when well flown.
Building one is straightforward, but having prior EPP experience would be a very big help. It is more work then you would expect, not hard, just a lot of sanding and shaping to do one right.
An enormous plus is it's durability. It can only be compared to other EPP planes, and is able to survive in the foamy wing cluttered environment found on many slopes nowadays.
