Comments: The Terry was a raffle prize winning. Yeah!!! Loops, rolls but no inverted flight. This plane turns quick dispite being rudder only and is very solid and stable it goes where you point it. It is a blast to fly.

I flew my Terry on the Point of the Mountain Slope in Utah. After it left my hand I thought "How am I going to get this thing down". I fed in the down trim and the speed was amazing. After ringing this little plane out there is a great long landing strip and after a couple of long passes I was able to set it down. I put a speed480 and 8 600ma Nicad cells and that extra weight really adds to the top speed. The wings really flex in the loops but seem strong enough. The controls are very solid and predictable.

Back at my home field the Terry really climbs with the speed480 and dispite its tiny size it really floats and turns tight enough to stay in the small lift.
