Ignacio, I've tried flying it in a decent Cat II site, but keep hanging up. I don't have access to any really good sites. We've got a Cat III on campus, but it has terrible drift.
Good, thin rubber would be very welcome. I really want to know how I can do it myself, of course, but I haven't received any comments of that nature.

It's a good plane; flew right off the board with nary a bad habit, other than needing a lot of ballast to make the minimum weight. I need to get it back...it's about 35' up stuck to the ceiling of an indoor tennis court right now. Try as I might, I can't get it past 3 minutes, mainly because it keeps running into things. Maybe I'll take it to a higher site sometime and get it to fly for real.
