I got this plane for Christmas and WOW! I've got an Irvine .46 in it and while it's definitely not overpowered where I fly(1300m above sea level(that's around 3800 feet)) it flies with authority.

On low rates it will do just about everything, although loops need to be done well otherwise it will fall out, on high rates it is scary but LOADS of fun.

The plane is light, but strong and will survive a bit of abuse. I had to land it in a field next to our strip due to a deadstick on the third flight and it came out without a scratch. Same kind of landing in the same field with a VMar Spitfire ended in tears due to the landing gear tearing out...

Overall I have to say this is a very very good plane and I am having lots of fun with it.

BTW the covering is excellent, not that sticky backed stuff used on VMAR kits.
