I have this model. I set it up with the Saito 56 and I have a few flights so far. I think it comes in a little heavier with the 56 than the Evo 46 that seems to be recommended. However, I dropped some weight by using HS-225s for the control surfaces and an 81 for the throttle. I also relocated the servoes to the empennage/rear for short linkages and I did not use the stock linkages but made my own short CF ones. (I just covered the servo holes with Monokote). I do not have the 3D throws that are recommended (low rates are fine) - I'll need bigger horns than the adjustable ones that came with the servoes. But for so far that has been fine. When I do get the full rates I expect this thing with do flat spins, snaps, blenders and so on very well.
This thing flies great. My second flight was in very strong winds 8-13 m/s and it came almost straight down. I've been flying this in a parking lot rather than drive to my airfield - once I get more comfortable with it's flight envelope I'll probably fly it in my street. I'm still breaking in the 56 so I haven't tested the punch-out yet.
My minor complaints are that the "formers" in the are a little weak and I broke one just trying to get the servo lead through the fuse from the rear of the plane. The other issue I had was a slightly warped ailoron on one side that has caused some binding. I may have to take it off to straighten it out. One last little thing, the stripes and stars start to liftup after a few flights. I wnet over all seems and stripes as the very first thing I did after opening the box but that was not enough.
Cheers and have fun.
