HI, I picked up the single prop version at TRU. I didn't like it. I returned it.
I saw there was a twin prop version on the wal-mart site (Blue Angels) and I like the twin prop thrust turning much more than the tail movement.

I had a maiden flight last night and it went rather well. It was porposing a bit at full throttle, and when letting off thottle, it woul be level, or decend a bit as it lost altitude. Landing was nice, but a tad fast rolling, and no real way to slow up. Turning rate a bit sluggish.

I need an adjustable throttle control rate. Anyone know a TX mod for this ?

I have had a couple of these - they are great and fun as far as any mods - I have thought about it b/c I know pretty much anything is possible with this little plane:
