Have not seen one up close but they look very much like a Thruster so I would say go for it. Flying slow can be a lot of fun. Would check the sails with a bettsometer, if the sails are no good it may not be possible to get new made. 503 is a great engine.

I have been told they were based on the single seat thruster with several improvements on the thruster.
