This was designed and mainly built some time ago, and suffered from a couple of
major problems. The first problem was ground handling. The rudder was useless, and although
fitted with a steerable tailwheel, the ground proved to be too bumpy for this to stick.
Loads of left torque (shedloads of right thrust fitted) caused very vicious groundlooping.
After handlaunching, a nightmare port tip stall was experienced on turns, unless airspeed was
quite high. Wing only has about three degrees of washout. More should be used, especially as
the weight is about a kilo plus.
