Rav,

If the throws,and cg are set properly,it does not "hop off" like an F-18 or similar jet with a short tail moment.I found that this airplane flies more like a sport jet than any scale jet I've flown.The big surprise is that it slows down in the pattern as well as a Bobcat,and has no bad tendencies unless you seriously push it on the slow side.I had the shark nose version.Good luck,

Erik
