[This] model rose from the ashes of my "Lowatt". The wings were partially reusable so I designed the plane around that. The new wing covered came to 75g., quite a lot for an indoor model. But I thought, if it's too heavy to fly indoors, it certainly will make a good park flyer.

Well, it looks like it's suitable for both. I flew it at our last indoor meet and was really taken by it. The model behaves like a real motor model and feeding full throttle it will stay on the ground until I touch the elevator. I have not tried to loop it indoors as the power is too marginal for loops out of straight flight. She is a nice plane for low flybys and relaxed flying.

I will draw some plans up and put on my website if people are interested.
