Maiden the Cobra today. After launching, I immediately realised that the elevator throws are too much and I switched to dual rate right away. Not bad at all. The plane is quite responsive to lift, but I also find that the heavy wings did some funny things in flight. Nothing alarming but just a little annoying when the model wriggles quite a bit during turns.

The Cobra has proven itself a very nice flyer at Sedili. Although the roll rate won't make it a super aerobatic glider, the fullsize isn't anyway. It might be due to the size and mass, it climbs and retains energy pretty well. It can pick up enough lift to get back to the slope after a super low dive towards the bottom of the slope. Consecutive loops can be done easily and the spoileron function is comfortably responsive. The airframe is very tough to take the landing punishments there as I didn't even get any dents or scratches so far.
I just saw the Stuafenbiel website and found out that they have only 8 kits left and the production is discountinued. So anyone interested, please grab one fast.
