My question is did they try to sell you something else or push you towards another plane. I have flown mine a dozen times and I can tell ya after the first 2 or 3 flights I have really started to push this plane around. And let me tell ya the DLE 30 has the power to pull this plane straight up and act like a 3D machine!!!! I am running a 19x7 Xoar prop and she gets. I have wrung mine out and stressed the wings pretty darn good and my cabines are not showing any wear. I have a mix of warbirds and aerobatic stuff and I fly the snot out of all of them. This plane has been a joy and is fun to toss around the sky!!
