John, there are two Sierras flying up here in Minnesota with MRCSS. I fly one of them. I originally bought it for slope and thermal flying. I am impressed with its thermal abilities but have some more work to do before I am satisfied with its slope performance (mostly linkage changes to get a better roll rate).
The kit is a good value in my opinion. Very good fit and finish on the wings and fuselage, typical of Art Hobbies offerings. I would not consider the kit to be an ARF however. There was more work in the wing than I expected. The Sierra flies predictably and well. It works in light wind and does even better in stronger wind. I have provision for up to 20 oz. of ballast. The wing has stood up well to hand tow and winch launches. Each of the two Sierras has placed first or second in club TD contests. If you have more specific questions about the plane let me know, I'd be happy to answer them. Larry Sorenson --- "John L.
