I have not flown it yet. I bet that it flys very well. The wing is huge, and it is not heavy. I have seen the Golberg model, the covering is much better, I prefered the size of the Global though. I painted the bottom half of my Global sky blue to match the blue in the stars and stripes. I have read that it is fairly easy to remove part of the nose by just cutting back about 3/4" and it helps alot. I may do this after I fly it a few time.
