Thanks for the review, Richie.

Very good. While much more swooshable than the 'Camel (it's a bit more
compact, and a whole lot sturdier)

Here I would have to disagree. I don't find either of the Camel or the Baron
to be particularly sturdy and hence not particularly swooshable.

Hmmm... I may have to collect more data on this. Certainly my prelimary
data, based on medium speed swooshing at both full arm extension and half
arm extension, combined with several strafing runs (complete with machine
gun sound effects) against the now shipless Snottler crew, and some
emergency landings on the living room floor indicated the 'Baron was
infinitely more swooshable than the Camel.

I'll report my findings (possibly with graphs and charts) in due course.

I conducted some experiments last night.... see
http://www.lugnet.com/loc/au/~1285/kites for details.

No charts yet, though :-)
