Abstract
Let be the variety of flexes of plane cubics. We prove that (1) is an irreducible rational algebraic variety endowed with a faithful algebraic action of ; (2) is -equivariantly birationally isomorphic to a homogeneous fiber space over with fiber for some subgroup isomorphic to the binary tetrahedral group .
