I don't remember exactly what is was about the rebel that turned me off; seems like it was the empty weight was heavier than I wanted, wet wings and flaperons. I did like the +1 option though; the factory said there are a few flying what are set up as a 4 place.

I've pretty much decided on a Frontier; I'm just waiting for the factory to get one together so I can fly one before I buy. The original demo plane was a little different than the production model so they are building a new demo.


Ya the +1 is an attractive deal. The Rebel order sheet has an option to split the flaps and ailerons. I've not heard of the Frontier that I recall. What's the company?

That's interesting, I like that too. Nice big area inside, very basic and simple. Cool!
