I have one with a G38. Make sure the plane is properly balanced and under 20 lbs.. You'll love it.

I really like mine. I'm running an OS-FT160 and rarely get above half throttle. Mine came in at 17 1/2 lbs. That includes a pound of lead in the nose to get it to balance.

The model doesn't have any bad habits that I've been able to find. Takeoffs and landings are easy and it will do all the basic aerobatic maneuvers with style and grace.

Good luck with yours.

Two friends of mine that have these (they are brothers) show up and fly them quite a bit, they put on a good show and fly a tandem mini airshow performance. It really makes me think this is a good kit to own. One I should buy before they are gone.
