These planes fly well if they are set up correctly. If you take your time then you'll enjoy the plane, if not you'll be taking home a bag of bits.I had one (sold it didn't crash it) with a moki 180 (superb engine) and an internal tuned pipe inside the fus. Also had 2 JR DS 8411 on the elevators. I recovered mine because i didn't like the colours. I covered it in profilm and airbrushed my design onto that. Pictures are below.
hope this helps,
Andy
