Exactly as described by others. Takes a lot of speed and elevator to lift off, but once it does.....it is nice. Was not able to retract the LG so I had to fly it the whole way, it was still very docile. Flew like an F-16 with gear out (yes like a pig!) I'm glad I put a Rhino in it because I was at the upper 15% of the power curve the whole time. Landing is super smooth and predictable.

It was very sensitive to rudder. Not sure if its me because I've never flown twin rudder before, but even a light touch of rudder would turn it upside down fast!

A short video from my cell phone. My buddy filmed from his Quadcopter, I'll upload that one when its done.
At the end of the day, I'm a happy camper. The thing has A LOT of presence in the air, unlike any other models I've seen.
