I had one about 6 or 7 years ago. Terry Heddon from Corpus Christi built the thing for me and did an excellent job on lightening the thing up for me. It was a balsa farm of a kit! After covering it and putting on a Sachs 5.8 single, it was a bullet. Not a 3D bird by any stretch of the imagination! I guess if I had to characterize this plane, I'm thinking maybe it was like flying wide open pattern of the late 70's before the turnaround stuff. Put yours together and go fly it because its a plane, for cryin' out loud!!
