this plane flys very well at Sloooooooooooow speeds use book high rates(or more) once your comfortable with them for slow flight as the controls are a good bit more responsive, book low rates are to mushie on ail for slow flight. landings are very uneventful, with the thick wing it slows very nicely(to a crawl) and maintains good control response all the way to touch down. even with my rates set to max throws it shows no bad habits and is not sensitive to pitch inputs BUT I've been flying areobats and profiles for sometime. I use what inputs the plane needs to get the job done, start yanking on the sticks it WILL snap so will ANY other plane. set the plane up by the book EXCEPT for CG, test fly on low rates and get used to it then crank it up and have FUN. on the CG do a search here on RCU, many people have said the book CG is WAY off and i fully agree, I test flew mine at 4 1/4 inches book max is 3 3/4 that is just pure BS. after a few very docile flights at 4 1/4 i moved back to 4 1/2 and then to 4 3/4. I really don't think going to 5 would have done me any good the plane fly's great at 4 3/4.
