Hi Fred:
Dragonfly is a nice one. Traditional D tube wing, nice joiner. I have not winched one personally, but have customers who do. The plane is a good value, and the fuse is well done with all bellcrank and pushrods preinstalled.
And, as usual, shipping in Cont. USA is Free...

Maybe someone who owns one can chime in???

Happy Landings!
Bob

The Dragonfly from Valenta/CZ?
I've got that Plane with a Kontronik-BL-Motor 480/33 with Gear 5,2/1. I'm very satisfied about the flying in light thermals. The elektricpowered dragonfly sink's with 50 > 55cm per second! Please have a look at:

You can find there a few nice pictures of my Dragonfly.
