<div>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.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>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. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>One of these days, when this working deal slows down, I may put an article together of exactly what I am doing on it.</div>
