This is the latest from Mike Richter of Dream Flight in Goleta California. It does maneuvers we don't have names for, and is not only highly aerobatic, but very easy to fly. I painted mine like the rails of a surfboard in fluorescent orange, it's a Goldfish!

PS as Martin says below, they cost $130.00 USD, pricey, but worth it. The quality, completeness and instructions are all top shelf. If you don't paint it, you can be flying one in a couple hours. The radio took longer to set-up that assembling the plane! Turn off the snap flaps and it's a docile aileron ship, flip them on and anything goes.

Re: Ahi freestyle sloper
I've flown one. They are indeed wonderful and perform maneuvers that you'd think were impossible - especially when there's not much wind and flying speed is relatively slow.
They're slightly pricey - but the design and finish is excellent, so you can see what you're paying for, and (in my opinion) they're worth the money.

Re: Ahi freestyle sloper
LOL, Ahi is a nice model (I have their weasel/trek and libelle) - just as nice and pricey as the Aroso from Sebald Modelbau. I did a DIY job on one - flies REALLY nicely - mainly 3mm depron and a 3mm liteply crutch. Great for beach flying up here.

It is a very nice model but it’s still a ceiling tile
PS Hope I don’t offend anyone but it’s just my view on Depron and the like models. They do have their place though.
