Ok, it flies... and darn well too! It's very neutral and easy to fly. Very little coupling during knifedge. Needs a bit of down elevator when inverted but so does most planes. I feel very comfortable with the plane and did several knifedge passes just of the deck. It does not have insane rollrate, but keeps its response even at very slow speeds. Does not tipstall at all. Landed at my feet in a plesant speed.
It's more slippery then the R2F Venom. It's faster, but not by alot speaking topspeed, it does cruise faster on particial throttle though. For example it easily knifedges at half throttle which in my case equals 2.64lb of thrust(1/3 of the full power) in my case.
Only one flight due to "bad glow", would not have happend with a P20
