That is one very good looking airplane and from what I have known about it flies very very good, sure you could tell us about it. I have thought several times about building one but just never tried it maybe because of complexity of landing gear. Great job
Bob
Sure Bob, so i bought complete plane but it was missing some crucial stuff like cowling, wing struts, one part of landing gear, and some ribs were broken on the tail and wing. Biggest job was how to strip down paper finish and to bi done with oratex.
So after around 80 hrs, it was done, and then engine setup. Point is that this engine is oversize for this model, but after first flight and 5 more flights i can tell you, it flyes as the same speed with 50% or 100%. Point is straight wing with fix slots and bunch of drag from tail/landing gear/wing struts.
As I have been at real one, i can tell you, it fles just like the real stuff and i`m in love with his flight envelope. Now some bugs are comming out, and i have to move CoG little aft, but final conclusion is that if you find out for Svenson Fieseler kit, go for it.
