Just read in on this thread. In reference to your full throttle/high speed stuff, keep in mind that it does tell you in the instruction manual not to exceed 180mph.. I'm not a speed nut either, I have a Cheetah Sp in mine ( 32lbs ) and I do not ever go wide open except on some vertical stuff for a short burst.. Awesome airplane and it's slick too. Speed will go up fast if you don't watch it. All that being said, I have seen some guy's fly the crap out of them and I have never seen one fail, but that's not for me...

Have fun !!
