I had a great time with the Beaver. The Maiden was a bit wild because I had too much control throws but I dialed it down a bit and the next flight was much more relaxing...This is a neat little plane . The flaps work great..I am looking forward to trying it out on floats..I think it will look pretty neat with the lites reflecting off the water.. It is a great buy , but I think you need a way to transport it with the wings on because taking them on and off would be a pain in the butt...In my opinion...
