Too light for anything over 10 MPH. When its gusty this plane is a handfull. Landings and takeoffs with a cross wind can end in disaster, as what happened today. Itried to take off into the wind, but a gust caught the left wing and flipped it before I could correct and it smacked nose first into the ground. It didnt break aything, but the firewall came off the fuse. Thankfully its stuck on with Silicone. Easy fix though, just a few dabs of silicone and its good as new. That big fin with a cross wind at slow speeds tends to turn it into the wind and is a PITA when landing.

Too QUIET! It makes so little noise that you cant tell if the motor is running or not.

Too short a landing gear. In grass this plane doesnt take off or land well, even with large wheels installed. The motor is pitched down so if it catches grass it will pull itself into the dirt, to help compensate my nose wheel is larger than the mains. Landings are a PITA too on grass as the nose wheel will catch just a little ground the wrong way and cause it to nose over.


Thats all my gripe on the Apprentice, overall a really good plane.
