I do agree they fly well. I had one that I used for instructing. I had picked it up for a song on Craigslist and was really pleased with the flight characteristics. My only compliant was the plastic top half of the fuselage. While it doesn't hurt anything for flying, you can't repair it if you break it. I'm a fan of trainers that can be put back together after a bad crash, and the standard box type balsa fuselages can without much effort.
