I built a cupple of open b planes this year with white foam and blue foam (LE has about 3 inches of high load 60 and the rest is white foam) , and 2 weeks ago we had a cupple of 1 on 1 practice rounds, and we had a midair (head on), I thought I was goin to see snow but all I saw was Tony's Avenger coming down, my plane kept on truck'n with just a small scratch on the LE
Mako Buster? Don't know, guess it all depends on the pilot, but it does turn a lot tighter than the Mako, and doesnt loose speed on the turns, inside/outside loops are identical, it also builts fast, I dont know the name of the airfoil but it looks like its purty popular in Russia.
Mike F. should start kitting these, im purty shure it will be the next BIG thing for open b.

My motto has always been "On any given day..."
I've built and flown so many Makos, and like any other flying wing you better have the CG right on..or you won't be reaping the benefits.
Oh, and another thing... If you are ripping across the field about 5 feet high, and you pull up for a sweet vertical climb out and end up burying the plane in the dirt.... you were inverted.. I did this with a Falcon that was totally spot on and flying great.
Now, for the sake of the 2548 crew we should move this conversation over to the Open forum.
The Mako is not on the 2548 approved aircraft list [:p]
