Default RE: Need some help buying plane

I had one of these several years ago as a Product Review in the magazine. I used an OS 48 Surpass. Plenty of power, flew nicely, but not a lot of aileron control. It could be fixed with a little tinkering.

The worst part was that the landing gear had absolutely ZERO flex in it. The wheels were spoked and had thin rubber tires and the wire gear was welded at all joints. Landings had to be made gently, otherwise off you go back into the air again.

I sold mine, complete except for a receiver, for about $350,00, but it had only 5-6 flights on everything
