A decade ago
or so I was in the back seat of a
motor-glider
being flown to a local airport for some repair work on a
noisy muffler.
Control: You're unreadable, say again.

Designed for the entry level pilot while
retaining the excitement & handling a proven pilot
demands.
The MX Sprint has extremely fast roll
response and handles crosswinds easily with its
conventional three-axis controls. Yet it retains the
docile and predictable slow flight characteristics that
made the original MX famous. |
