I had one with a 52fs and enjoyed it. The vertical stab on mine was weak and the wood cracked in flight. Only took a couple of minutes to fix and patch the monokote. Watch out for stalls. That is how I crashed mine. It looks so scale flying low and slow that I forgot to watch my airspeed. This plane needs a little speed to fly, maybe the small wing area. Am thinking of buying another, they are a good model of a nice looking civilian plane.
