I would be interested to learn more about the flying qualities and
value of the Flut-R Bug. I have an opportunity to purchase one, but I
can find very little inforamtion about it. Thank you!


I forgot to mention some of the flying characteristics. My bug is fairly
responsive on the ailerons, and has very effective elevator/rudder in
flight. The vertical stabilizer is built with off-set so the plane
climbs out without need for too much rudder input. At cruise speed,
though, I have to hold a bit of rudder. I may build a rudder trim of
some sort for it. Visibility is good over the top of the wing, but the
mid-wing sorta blocks the view down. Some bugs have had clear fuselage
side panels under the wings to improve the view.
