I put a gallon of fuel through mine just this past weekend, have had it for about 3 months...lots of fuel through it. Mine is powered by a thunder tiger .61 swinging a 13x6 prop. I have the elevator throws pretty low but everything else is max. The plane flies great, but I would recommend changing out the landing gear as they will bend, (pretty cheap pot metal) Other than that it's a great flying plane, I did not make any modifications, just put it together and it flies great with normal servos. I find myself flying it more than I do my DP Edge 540, as it sharpens the skills..
