Thinking of buying myself one for christmas and putting a 26cc RCGF engine. How is the build quality of the plane? How about flying, hovers, flat spins, etc?
Do yourself a favor and put a DLE30 or Syssa 30 in it, you won't be sorry if you wanna do any hovering or 3D. This is a nice little plane; I haven't built one but have flown one with a DLE30; that hauls it around well. Most of the 26cc gassers don't have the power to hover a 10lb plane with any authority. I also flew another club member's H9 Funtana 125 with a CRRC 26, and it had no pullout whatsoever from hover. He switched to a DLE30 and was delighted!
