Modelers' Comments - Mitsubishi Ki-15 Babs Construction Manual

"It flew as if on rails, not feeling at all overweight but rock steady. My
friend's came out at 36 lbs and flies superbly in the same manner...superb unusual
aircraft - has real presence in the air."
"Congratulations on the beautiful model you've designed and built."
"...instantly absolutely delighted"
"flew extremely well, rock solid...super design makes flying so much easier.
Congratulations on a plan that works."
"Beautiful Design."
"Apart from the obvious attraction of building another one of Dave's designs
this model appears to have a couple of other plus factors going for it - no sliding
cockpit canopy to worry about and no retract system to empty the bank account."
"Wow, what a design."
"I had a really great time building it." —Miroslav in Czech Republic
"Sugoi desu! (It's great, awesome.)" —modeler in Japan
"Yesterday BABS lost her virginity, the test flight was superb, she required
three klicks of uptrim on elevator, rudder and ailerons on center, the cg set at 6
1/8"from center section leading edge, dry weight 36 1/2lbs. It looked very elegant
in the air, and the landing on full flaps was as good as it gets. David, it's a winner.
P.S. I can probably remove 6 to 8 ounces of ballast which would alleviate the slight
elevator uptrim, but I will have a few more flights first." —Brian in England
"I thing it is magnificent to give the plane for free."
"...perfect and amazing job"
"magnificent"
"Beautiful plane!"
