Default RE: How is this plane?

Off the top of my head, all I would say is that this aircraft is probably going to be underpowered with the stock motor (?direct drive), especially on only 7 NiMh cells, and that its wingloading of 15.3oz/sq.ft is going to mean it will have to fly fairly fast to stay airborne. IF it does fly, with that amount of weight it should handle wind okay. I can't see any way you'll get more than 10oz thrust from a DD 380 motor on 7-cells, so its going to be a bit like a powered brick to fly.

IMHO - I'd get a Slow Stick!
