RE: greatplanes shoestring
I have well over 100 flights on mine with no problems, other than reinforcing the wheel pants, and landing gear mounts it's stock. Once you get used to flying it, it actually does slow down okay for landings, depending on how much weight you have in the nose, the higher the wing loading the faster she'll come in. I have a magnum .91/fs in mine which is not the lightest motor out there, and she still comes in failry slow. "IF" i put this one in, I would def get another....aweosme arf
