Default Fly-Model 3D planes in the F/S section

Anyone have one, any thoughts? Seems a good price for a 30CC plane but I have had bad experience with Sea Gull models... They are too heavy for 3d and not very strong. I am worried these cheaper arfs may have similar issues but if someone has experience would love to hear. I want a cheap 3d plane not a cheap heavy sport flyer.

I just ordered the thunderbirds version, I think it is an extra based on the shape would you agree? I got all the upgrades and will be doing a full build thread. what power system are you using? I think I will go electric.

I had the 50cc slick, it was absolute 3d machine. Very light, plenty of throw. It will do anything you throw at. I have a second one on the way.
