Land of Poutine!
I'm finally getting around to building this..

Anyone built & flown this thing?

Any thoughts? comments?

I've seen the review on EMRR's site..

Small fins & nose weight. I'm adding 2 more fins (for a total of 5!) Should increase the coolness factor..
 
And should bring the CP back a little requiring less nose weight! :D That will look really cool with 5 fins on it!
 
Make sure you simulate and add nose weight as needed. My son flew his Aspire for his Jr. L1 a couple of years back at LDRS (see pic). As I remember, more nose weight needed than I would have expected.

Well, the epoxy's dryin' and she needs a launch lug. But she's all set!

Yes, 2x extra fins (total of five!) and a few have reported 'needs nose weight'.
