COMMENTS: The Difference Between A Good & A Great Aerobatic Performer Is Its
            Slow Speed Handling, Ease and Predictability In Flight. This
            Kit Is Truly A GREAT Performer -- It Can Be A Newer Modelers Second
            Low-Wing Aircraft, or A Seasoned Competitor's Competition Airplane.
          This Model Is IDEAL For Smooth, Clean, Scale or Pattern Aerobatic
            Competition. It Is Exceptionally Good At Manuevers Such As
            Vertical Snaps, Rolling Circles and Torque Rolls. It Is A GREAT
            Choice For PATTERN, For All Levels of minIMAC and IMAC Competition.
            Its Clean Lines and Overall "Presence" in the Air Means It Appears
            A Much Larger Model, and Will Judge Quite Well, Particularly with
            a .70 or .91 4-Stroke.
          Flutter is a Very Real Concern On All Truly Aerobatic Aircraft. This
            Model Is NOT Intended for Exceptionally High Speed, and as such
            This Design REQUIRES A Prop with No More Than A 6 Pitch. This Is
            Not A Flaw of the Aircraft, But A Side Effect of the Exceptional
            Aerobatic Capabilities of This Aircraft.
          Box Covering Scheme is Royal Blue, Cub Yellow, Jet White, Red Trim.
            See ACG Optionals for Covering Stock Numbers.
