Randy,
  Don't know what you mean by perfect but it's very good for anything but FAI .
  It rolls very axial with no trim or differential and all the controls are very neutral with no roll coupling. It does pull to the canopy slightly on left knife-edge but not enough
  that I'll add any mix. Its flying with no trim or mix at all except 2 clicks right rudder
  that I added after a repair from a deadstick landing in a jungle of trees and vines at the
  Temple Texas contest which broke the wing tube loose. It surprised me how strong
  the composite structure was as considering where it ended up there was very little
  damage. We retreived it ass end down about ten feet up a vine wrapped tree ! The
  quality of construction is outstanding as it is very, very straight and everything lines
  up perfectly. The only thing I changed was to snug up the stab tube and move the
  aileron servo mounts so they are mounted the convential way outside the bottom
  of the wing instead of inside.
  My main criticism is it's a sleek design without much drag and doesn't slow down as much as I would like on the down lines. It's not a true wide body so it was a challenge to mount the DEPS in the fuselage but it works very well after it's installed. I don't
  think it has enough fuselage side area to do well in the upper classes but it is very
  good for any of the others and all it needs is good pilot. Right now it's capable of a
  lot more than I can do because I just haven't had any practice time this year but the
  airplane is definitely easy to fly and has no bad habits.

    Anyone flying one?
   
  Cheers?
   
  Jeers?
   
  Price is attractive. Even if it isn’t quite a 2x2
   
  BVMPROPS is selling them. I talked to David Shulman this AM and he hasn’t flown one yet.
