Gary, I love this airplane, and I love flying it, even though I am about to start with the more aerobatic aircraft, I will always keep this plane, I love the durabilty of it, and with the addition of fully functional flaps, it makes this aircraft a dream to fly and land...with the power that I provide on this airplane, I can land main gear first, flaps at 30 degrees, and touch down just like you would in the real airplane...I fly on grass as well, and the flaps subtracted the need to take away my wheel pants...definitly an awesome plane, good luck
