Yep, that is true! I've gotten it to the flyable point by reducing the control throws quite a bit, and it is turning out to be one of my most fun planes to fly. Vertical snaps are outrageous as it ultimately ends up trading ends and i have to wait for it to sort itself out and find its way nose down. I put 4.5 inch wheels on it for my rough runway and it does well with those. I have about 220 feet of runway with fences on each end so it has been a handful landing, know it might snap if I get it too slow and knowing it is a tight fit. Still working on landings and take-offs too for that matter.
