One of my flying partners still is flying a Fascination. His comments are 
that the plane has poor snapping tendencies (he flies Masters), due mostly to 
very small aileron area  and rather large stab, and does not track the 
verticals straight up and down. 

But the plane will groove with the best of em, probably because of the large 
stab, and is a fine Sportsman and Intermediate plane. His plane has a 1080 sq 
inch wing and seems to need every bit of his 140RX at nearly 11 pounds
