Hi, Kevin.
I originally gave a response here:
http://www.lugnet.com/adventurers/?n=9
but I'll try to give some abbreviated comments again here.
I guess my main gripe with the PP is that the two sets of wings are too close
together (in my opinion the upper wings should be above the pilot's head
instead of below it). If one were to remove the upper wings and possibly
extend the pontoons a bit more below the main body of the plane, it would be a
nicer looking model. (The pontoon plane in the 6543 Sail'n'fly Marina is a
much better pontoon specimen.)
You did make some good points about both sets that prompted me to make a
more positive statement about the PP. It is a better collection of parts and,
being a dollar less, it is a better value.

I can't think of a plane that actually dragged the back end of the fusalage and the trailing edge of the tailplane along the ground like the BB does. Those WWI and earlier planes were so lightly (...) (25 years ago, 27-Sep-99, to lugnet.adventurers, lugnet.reviews)
