Dueling Multiplex Gemini, Let's Get Ready to Rumble!

Thank you for the info on the Gemini.

I like my FunCub, and the flex has been a benefit to me--and i don't doubt i would make use of that feature with a Gemini as well.

No video of the tight loop a few feet off the ground it did.

doing a low pass while wearing gloves ( the temp was between 0-8 degrees F), I'd instantly deployed full flaps as i advanced the throttle. It finished the loop and had a hard belly bounce--minor gear damage, took about an inch off both ends of the prop. little else.

@rampanttricky17 Yeah, the Fun Cub is awesome. Don't have one myself, but my fater in law does and I get to fly it occassionally. It is very acrobatic considering the big wing and it floats like a 3D plane, love it!

[rampanttricky17]

thanks. it was fun to see what the plane can do when you take it out for some fun--and have the skill to use it.

would you share any comments on how the "feel" of the MPX Gemini differs from the feel of a balsa/ply biplane?

@rampanttricky17

Well, I would say the only thing that differs from a balsa plane is the stiffness. The Gem is kinda floppy, but that's ok 'cause it survives nicely when, I mean if it crashes. Other than that, it feels good, but doesn't have a big enough rudder or elevator to be a real 3D plane.
