| Plane Weight 4.85 KG | Date of submission 09/01/2005 | |
|
Comments: More than enough power for Masters. Not all that enamoured with the construction of the CA Impact, will probably move the drive train into a ZN Oxalys for next season. Very quiet. A challenge keeping the engine cool; waiting for a spinner that'll duct air through the back plate. Wayne Powell |

Airplane Genesis |
| Plane Weight 10 lbs 10oz | Date of submission 02/12-06 | |
|
Comments: The best flying plane I have owned to date. Moderate speed variation with very linear throttle response. Since the plane flies slower than my glow, I now fly with more percision. Very predictable rudder corrections. This is a very good snapping and rolling plane. The plane has dead straight up lines and power off down lines. Steve Kessler |

Comments: The Mantis is a very draggy airplane. The Xtra 25 isn't a large enough motor to power it through P05 with authority. For 2006 I will use an Xtra 30. The batteries were awesome, and still in very good condition (CBA verified) at 55 cycles. Adam Glatt |
