Working on this and the RobinS towplane for Model Aviation. Thought I'd give you guys a little preview.
First, these are two pretty nice kits. Both are well built and the Robin is fun to fly and different enough that a lot of people (most even) have to ask what it is.
The Blanik is fun to fly, tows easily, and thermals pretty well. The quality and fit of the kit, paint job on the fuselage, and covering are all quite high. Flaps only, no spoilers and no good provisions for adding them. I'm spoiled by my big one in that regard but truthfully it does fine without spoilers.
The pair is on the edge for towing but it can be done if done carefully.
Full report coming out with video in MA in a couple of months (I think its the October issue)
