its really a great plane.taxi on the ground is a little rough from which you can tell from take off videos on you tube,but the plane really grooves in the air if you like fast flying planes.i can say for the price,you can't go wrong.be gentle with the take off and don't stab it and she is great.i haven't put the 10cc on it yet to see how it will balance.if i'm able to put the ignition box close to cg,i think it should be fine and i use 1300 mah life batteries which i can also play with past cg.also if your field is grass like ours it helps a lot too..you know every plane has its own characteristics that you get used too..great planes arfs are my favorite kits..my first glow plane which i still have stinger ii is really sweet.if your like me,i love my 46 size planes..hope this helps.....Craig.. ps i also have a ys 70 i'm thinking of using..that should wake it up
