This design hands down is the most polished, most perfect printing, building and flying model i've done to date. In other words its much more scale. the control surfaces are dialed, the scale details are much better and the fit and fitment is so nice.
I set out to make the A6 fly like it should! its slightly larger than my harrier so she floats more, handles like the A6 would in real life. Id love to see someone fly my harrier and the A6 together because they are very scale in terms of size and performance relative. I would put the A6 in the beginner to intermediate category because its so easy to fly and I haven't gotten her to tip stall.
She has FLAPS! they work great with a two stage, 50% and 100% on the servo throw. I used 4% negaive elevator for 50% and 9% negative compensation for 100%
Always make sure you buy airplane designs from people that show you multiple unedited flights from takeoff, or actual hand launch and landings!
