The only vice that I've had with it so far is it's real slick and landing requires a lot of preplanning. It will fly at a crawl but getting it there is not easy.
That's the best way I've ever heard it explained... I've never looked more stupid then when trying to woe this thing down to land.. but once you get a handle on it, its very managable. My favorite plane.

I think BVM is the only distributor in the US... there are others in the UK and Australia. Its a shame... the industry needs more than one choice for composite planes, and these have been great, just lacking the sales/sponsoring relationships that could get them over the hump. I agree, from the price drops and the rumor mill, they may be selling out of what they have and saying goodby to the propeller business.
