[RCSE] RE: Initial impressions of Defiant EPP trainer sailplane

I have a Gentle Foamy, and it flies great (for a foamy), but may need some shimming of the LE to fly right. But, that isn't exactly what a foamy 2-meter is for, is it? Heh. The construction is easy, the contents of the kit are quite nice, the EPP cut is good, and the spare system can take a
