Thinking of buying a Skybolt that has the wings squared off, not sure yet if they are shortened but for sure squared off. How does this affect performance? Would the roll rate be equal to an S2B or C?
It has a Catto fixed pitch prop. I would prefer a cs but is the fixed pitch something that would be a negative?


I have a Super Decathlon now. I want something with a much better roll rate, vertical penetration, and just a much better aerobatic airplane than the SD. Any opinions on the Skybolt appreciated.
