Corsa 2.7 by AeroicThis is the most recent and fully refined Corsa, a 2. 7 meter (108") glider designed by Dr James Hammond at Aeroic. "The new Corsa features a stiffer fuselage with a larger hatch at the back to get to the servos, and new improved airfoils make it a bit more slippery; an optimized Sine Wave Spar; better strength to weight ratio with improved parts fitment and a greatly improved finish."

The new Corsa while an excellent all rounder is a bit more focused on speed and energy retention when compared to the slightly smaller Forza. The Corsa is very slippery with a sexy fuselage that is ultra small and curvy in all the right spots. The massive wing joiner carries the G's like a champ; yes it's still highly aerobatic thanks to generous flight surfaces and that refined wing planform. Snapping through turns and pulling straight up out of dives is simply a joy, as the acceleration, energy retention and tracking are all excellent.
The flight envelope is described as a fast "all rounder"; making good use of marginal lift on light days and displaying excellent energy retention when ballasted for high energy days. The Corsa sports a relatively high aspect ratio. This gives a good balance between all out speed and agility in turns but also distributes lift more evenly over the 2.7 meter wing. This improved lift distribution allows better performance when flying lower wing loading, while simultaneously providing increased tip stall resistance.
The wings on all of Aeroic's models are the result of decades of model design and refinement, There is no other models with this planform or airfoils. And this refinement really shows in the performance.
The "sinusoidal" wave spar creates a very strong and torsional wing:
Think lower weight and higher mechanical stiffness, it's a win win.
The ailerons and flaps are top driven and bottom hinged allowing short, ie. stiff, pushrods between the servos and control surfaces. The servos for the rudder and elevator are located in the aft end of the fuse and are easier to install due to the larger servo hatch opening. All control surfaces are provided with wipers (gap seals).
The Corsa is available in three layups, Light, Standard and the Super Sport.
By now most slope soaring fans have heard of or actually seen the Aeroic Corsa 108 flying. Designed as an Allrounder to be fast and agile, yet easy to fly and land in a large variety of conditions, the "Sport" and "Super Sport" models are flown worldwide.
A natural extension of the Corsa "allrounder" genre, the all-new Corsa Light version is just the same as its two beefier brothers, but constructed with soaring in very light winds - maybe on slopes or hillsides with less lift potential in mind. Ideal for those summer evenings when the big lift has gone, the Corsa Light will still see you soaring when most of the other moulded models are on the ground.
To make the model lighter, using all our now quite extensive experience, the construction has been carefully calculated to be strong and amply reinforced where it's needed but sparing in weight where it's not; and the result is a lighter airframe but one that can still be ballasted to give sparkling Corsa 108 performance in brisk conditions.

Definitely worth the read!
Format: Kindle
After taking a deep breath and taking in that wicked twist of an ending, I have finally composed myself. My first thought when I started this book was that I love Reyna's character. I was intrigued by her connection with her familiar and the Ruin that is plaguing her land. It came as no surprise that she took her sister's place in an attempt to protect her. When they reach the Air Court everything slows down. This is where it was iffy for me. First of all, I like multiple POV's in books however 7 is a bit much. It starts to interrupt the story line. I felt like I was finally making progress connecting with one character, then it was switched to another person. I felt they all had necessary or pertinent information but not necessarily were they all POV worthy. The only other thing that annoyed me was that Reyna constantly was " trapped." She would rush off without thinking, only to need rescuing. She is brilliant in a fight, but she really doesn't think through anything. Lorcan is amazing. I know he might be on the "bad" list, but his background is so interesting. Eislyn(Reyna's sister) is really so sweet, but calculating. I enjoyed her and Thane's dialogue. The author did an amazing job with the imagery in this book. Everything was so detailed it was easy to fall into the scene. I love unexpected twists and while part of the ending I expected, I wasn't expecting how it took place. All in all, I found it very entertaining and I am very invested in continuing this series.
Favorite quotes:
"The truth may be twisted but never false."
"Who was she if she was not the enemy of the Air Court? What was her purpose of she no longer has that?"
"In a war-torn land, love was always a lie."

Great Read!!! Great story!!!
Format: Kindle
The series is long, but Ms. Wolfhart does a fantastic job of weaving this tale while bringing so much to the characters. Surprises and plot twists along the way to keep you intrigued. There is some graphic sex, but is no way the focal point. Grammar was excellent (a rare find with a lot of self publishers) with only a few noted errors. I rarely give 4 stars, let alone 5.

Sadly, DNF
Format: Kindle
I read this thru KU. I LOVED the synopsis. And then I began reading... and it was a DNF at 68% after picking it up and putting it down several times because I really loved the main female character.
*****SPOILERS*****
Pros:
The world is unique, intriguing and fun. The primary female character is bad-a** but not a b*tech or a mary sue. The primary female has depth. I really want to know what happens to her even tho it's been weeks and I don't remember her name. The villains to the point I read are pretty good -- an ever present threat of mysterious and possibly many culprits.
Cons:
Way, way too many points of view. I stopped counting at 7. It's the prime reason why I don't care about most of the characters or remember their names even when I like them. There's just too many points of view so almost none of the characters have enough book space for the author to properly develop them. This literally killed the book for me. Actually it killed my desire to read. For weeks.
The main male is more villain than hero. He agreed to marry the main female then locks her up & eschews her for her sister, all while bad mouthing her as unfit to rule when he never spent any time with her getting to know her. He is actually unfit to rule as he is blind to the woes of his own kingdom and starts off a peace mission to secure a ceasefire through marriage by murdering an inn full of people in her country for no real reason. Plus, he constantly makes promises he does not keep. And it's gross of him to pine for the sister behind the main female's back.
*****
As much as I really wanted to see what happened to the main female character, it wasn't enough for me to keep trying to slog thru this book. There was a lot of potential here that just fell short.
Hence, 3 stars.

Fae Courts with High Intrigue
Format: Kindle
This book is one that just builds and builds and then surprises you to no end. You may think you know the villains and then you are jolted in another direction. Princess Reyna is a real gem, strong of character, a fierce fighter, and loyal to her family and kingdom. Just when you think she and Lorcan, well you know, the plot is flipped. Can't wait to see where this goes in book two.

Slow, sorry but good
Format: Kindle
This was a slow moving book. Lots of character pov chapters, lots of superfluous descriptions and endless courtly appearances stalled this book to start. Once you get into the heart of the story, it takes off. Before you know it the book is done. My favorite character is Reyna. She is so strong. She is true to herself. She gets into a lot of trouble with her headstrong ways but it's entertaining. I have high hopes for Lorcan. He is honorable to a fault. Thane had turned out to be better than I thought but i still don't like him. Eislin is useless. Great plot twists at the end. I'm looking forward too book 2.
