•COMMENTS: the Northeast Sailplane Products
•|/lrus 400A Is a unique ARF model that's a lot
•of fun to fly. Its wing design allows the model
•to maneuver in small flying areas without tip-
•jftalling. When the ailerons are used as
•flaperons, the model can be flown extremely
•slowly and, because its ailerons are so large,
•slow-speed turning is instantaneous.
•j» Good craftsmanship and easy assembly.
•p* Unique wing design.
•• Good flight capabilities.
•MISSES
•• None found.
