It is one of the most stable, predictable aircraft I have flown and has plenty of excess performance to do any aerobics I am capable of asking it to do. Fear not, you're going to like it unless you are into extreme 3D. I am not.
Thanks so much!! That does make me feel better :-) I am not into hardcore 3D. What servos did you end up going with? Seems that my Graupner MZ-24 Pro (maybe all radios) will not allow me to use 5 digital and 1 analog without having to switch them all to analog or running risk of damaging the analog servo if run as digital. What's best? If weight is that much of an issue could I not go with the DLE-30?
