Interesting !!
Speed should be in the same ball park as a RareBear or a Viper (Q-500). It's a bit smaller than the Vipers but not much, most likely a bit slipperier. The idea is to have something similar to the vipers than I can fly at McCoy. Obviously the vipers are out on noise grounds.
It will be interesting to land on our short strip, being so slippery. When landing, they really seem to fly on for quite a while, with no straight approach and only about 2 1/3 mins flight time there won't be power for any number of go arounds. it will be a bit of a challange but that's all part of the fun.
Definatly a machine that needs dual rates !!
