Mine arrived today! Thanks Dave :-)
I always like the little mig for fun factor, but the little habu is awesome!
faster, more agile and more accurate, first flights today it was pretty breezy and it sucked it up fine!
i also seem to be getting much longer flight times with the habu? It does tend to fly happily at the smallest throttle setting!

Managed another flight today mixed in with 1/4scale Spitfires and 3 jets. DW mods so far are a stretched rudder and battery moved back and it nearly holds the KE completely now...

Flew mine five times yesterday, the first three times with the gear. All I can say is the difference in speed without the gear is substantial, better energy retention on the vertical. It is not capable of unlimited vertical though. A full throttle split S to build up speed seems to yield about a 50' to 75' loop. The guidance of the AS3X keeps it rock solid. The factory CG seems a bit forward as it takes about 1/8 to 1/4 forward stick for level flight inverted. They are not kidding about setting your timer for three minutes, I have mine at 3:20 and enter the downwind when the 30 seconds left chime goes off.
