    The electric  mini brio (embrio, if you will, for short) flies pretty poorly. I  bought into the hoopla also when it first came out, since a bunch of pattern  folks were touting its virtues. Wing is small and too thick, with a LE radius  that is too large.
     
    It can be  made to fly much better by building a new wing from foam,  reducing wing weight to half the original, and increasing the area by 10% or  so. Also, if you choose to do that, reduce the LE radius to about half the  original and wing thickness at about 10% of the chord. 
     
    One of these  days, when this working deal slows down, I may put an article together of  exactly what I am doing on it.

I was trying to get the stock  spinner to work on it last night (it flat won’t with an APC) and when  building—I neglected to seal the surfaces.  I may have a different opinion on the Brio now.  We’ll see….
