Default RE: Good E-plane?

The Typhoon is a fabulous plane. Two months ago my wife bought it for me for my birthday. Its my first 4-channel plane and my first non-high wing plane. I've only been flying it on the low rate settings and although I need to pay attention to what its doing a lot more than with the high wing planes, the plane flies great! Plenty of power and not too much speed.

I got into trouble when I flew it inverted for the second time. Before too long it got so far away from me that I couldn't tell if it was right side up or upside down. (It flies almost equally well inverted as right side up!) I ended up bringing it down in a field more than 1/4 mile away. Broke the prop and broke off the nose with the motor and gear box. A new prop and some 5 min. epoxy and it was flying good as new.
