DO NOT GET THIS IF IT IS YOUR FIRST PLANE.
With that said yes it works really well alghough flying it is pretty chalenging because of the rool rate and the movement of the control surfaces. If you can all ready fly 3d planes then yes go for it!

RE: hydrofoam/hydroplane do they work?
I just bought one off ebay and to answer your questions...
yes, it absolutely works
do they hold up well? about like driving a formula one car into a wall at full speed.
they are very light weight and have a whole lot of power,
I have done 2 test runs trying to keep it on the ground and have almost destroyed it,
but I don't have any idea how to fly one,
right now I am waiting for the glue to dry, then I will tape it back up and try again.
I have busted both front sponsons and the motor mount, but I think the glue and tape will get it working again.
are they trusted? I bought one and it worked about like I expected it to.
the couple minutes that it was running was a blast, I am planning on trying to learn some more with the one I have,
then buying another one to fly when there is nothing left of the one I have now.

I totally agree with those who have posted, plus the fact I would not buy another due to how fragile they are. Both times I broke mine into pieces were do to ground strikes. one was the prop hitting the ground sending the motor through the fuse chopping up depron as it went. I switched to a smaller prop and then hit a mole hill and the same thing happened again. Flying was awesome and something to see but I gave up after the second.
