John, As you can see in the pics on the website, this plane has a big wing with a lot of wing area and it will glide forever. We have a fun-fly coming up at our club and I'll probably use this plane for the climb and glide event just because it does glide (float) so well.
I am not real good at harriers and hovering yet, but I can do them a little. This plane seems to be great it both. It locked in on the Harriers and the wings were steady with no rocking (and this was a fairly windy day). I was able to hover it as well, the plane can hover better than I can. I'm at the point where I can hover for about 10 - 15 seconds before I loose it.
The plane is built very light, yet very strong, and has exceded my flying expectations of it. I highly recommend this plane if you are looking for something a little different to goof around with and try some wild manuevers.
