The Ventrix is total cake compared to any other jet I have flown. Its envelop is pretty big and the lift generated from the wing is outstanding. I still need to figure out some mixes because the rolls have a bit to be desired. I think some of this comes from the thrust point being mid jet. I am flying mine with a K-100 and its plenty of power for sport flying. Vertical is OKAY if you build up some good smack. For a beginner like my self its plenty, I cannot see myself putting a bigger motor in down the road because it is what it is but the jet could use a 140 if you want unlimited vertical. I would just manage the down lines. The gear that comes with the kit is fantastic and functions great, super high quality gear. We did have a big issue come up with some of the hardware but I am going to discuss it with Dreamworks first before public debate. Overall I am very pleased with the jet and I would highly recommend it to guys transitioning into turbines. Its a fantastic model that will make you very comfortable quickly.
'I'm just finishing one myself......ya there's a bunch of issues not a quick ARF for sure. I'm waiting for my fuel tank...
