The Dream ---- IS

[Bob Pastorello]

Forgive me if this is over the top....FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!! Four flights on the beauty. First, and most importantly - the plane has NO bad habits. Does it fly like a 2M ? H-#@ YES!!! And probably better than some, no doubt. The fuse area is well distributed around the CL of the fuse, as it was VERY nearly self-correcting in yaw, and we had 90 degree, 10mph crosswinds today. Requires almost NO rudder for crosswind corrections, and has no belly pitch. Knife edge from here to there and only a very slight adverse roll (like maybe 5 degrees after the length of the box). Thrust lines and CG is right on, although it needed about 8% more Down elevator to have the same 'feel' as upright. All that inverted stuff in Masters is a no-sweat deal with this bird. It is a KEEPER, and looks just beautiful in the air! Presentation is just outstanding. 

Stall turns are effortless, rolling loops easy, and even the Rev. Avalanche is sort of okay (considering it sucks to begin with).  VERY solid in point rolls, spins and snaps STOP just like you would want them to.

A word about the Magnum 1.20. Sweet. On 15%, with a 15 x 10, I had all the up I needed for a good Masters' sequence, although it would slow at the tops if I tried to make stuff box-filling. It NEVER skipped a bit, or coughed, and ran like a sewing machine. No pump, just stock tank behind firewall deal. VERY nice combo. 

If you are thinking about a 90 size that acts, and feels, like a 2M, I have to tell you this is a quantum leap above the Excelleron. And I thought the Excelleron was pretty good in it's own right. Ya gets what ya pays for..... the Dream is worth every penny of the price difference!
