Pacific Aeromodel describes this plane as a tough, casual, fun airplane to have around when you get tired of taking your flying too seriously.

A high-lift airfoil makes it ideal for on-the-deck flying, and sophisticated aerodynamics make it incredibly smooth or raucously aerobaticc.

The 62-inch-span model features all-wood construction, painted cowl, optional fiberglass wheel pants and requires a .40 to .52 2-stroke or .52 to .72 4-stroke. It costs $140.

I just won this plane at a club raffle. I am just starting to build it, and let me tell you how pleased I am with it. I have only read through the instructions and looked at the parts that came in the box and installed the control surfaces. The instructions are incredibly detailed and very easy to understand, no guess work like with the junk you get from China (sorry Chinese people, no offence intended). The quality build of this airplane is also very impressive. on a scale of 1-10, ten being the best, I would give this model a 9.8. Mind you, I have only started building it but so far it has been a pleasure.

Thank you "Pacific Aeromodel" for building such a great model and for a great price. I don't know how you make any money on it because there are no corners cut. They even included a little bag of spare parts like monocote and balsa in case you ever had to repair a tear or hole in your planes skin.

Best of all it's good old American quality built. :)

In appearance in the photo it reminds me of a VK Cherokee I once owned. That was also a great knockabout airplane.
Should be a good seller.
