PS,

This is not the plane for "high speed" passes due to the buffeting that occurs from the fake turbine inlet. This acts as an under-fuse parachute....not good.

They fly fine, and float in quite nicely for as big as they are, however, aerobatic they're not.

Retracts need all the help they can get, as Luds mentioned. There is no room up front for a larger tank, should you decide to put more motor in it, so keep this mind also. (In front of nose retract) Front nose retract BTW, needs add'l help as it is simply too weak. This used to drag at a 90 degree angle just as ground speed picked up for take off.

I also had the cheap plastic (black piece where the pilot sits on) melt in the sun.

I bought this for it's "looks", but was disappointed with it overall.

Does this answer some of your quesions? [sm=confused.gif]
