Xtreme Xtreme

(made in 1998)

The Xtreme exhibited a mixed bag of flying characteristics. A flight report by Gary Hume highlighted both good and unpleasant handling. Whilst ground handling and take-off were reported to be easy, such things as spiral stability, straight-line stability and handling in roll were slated as extremely poor.
