I've had two. Crashed the first one when I accidently crossed the ailerons. I posted some place on them. Long story short: construction-wise one was awesome, the other was crap! As stated above, it is Lanier, you takes your chances.

As to flying, the plane is awesome, one of the widest flight envelopes I have seen, pattern to 3D, slow to fast. The plane is not for a beginner. I have a YS63 in mine. Weighs 4.5 pounds. I have limited 3D ability, but I think this plane will do anything anybody would want it to. It's control surfaces are huge and so are it's high rate throws. Nuff said.
