    I have the older version with no flaps, and agree it does not fly with a light feel as others. It requires strong thermos or ridge lift to stay up. However, with heavier wing loading, I find it penetrate wind much better than lighter gliders, so I prefer it on a windy day. I also find it a quite aerobatic and look very majestic in the air. It’s an attention grabber compared to other foamie gliders. Having wheels to roll down the runway on landing without scraping the wing tips is also quite fun.

    Here’s on board video of it doing aerobatics on a windy day.

    I had one a long time ago. For a sailplane, I found it tip stalled very easily and didn't really float that nicely. In fact, it stalled on me once very low to the ground and crashed. It seemed to have a very sensitive roll axis. This might be one sailplane that could do well with a stabilizer. It looked really nice in the air, though.
    I gave mine away and the guy doesn't fly it much. He prefers his Radian XL and Calypso.
