This plane flies very well, considering it's weight. Unfortunately as the others have said, it is probably a bit overdesigned, as most do come out fairly heavy for a .40 (???) sized plane. I am afraid your .32 would prove a major dissapointed in this plane. The one I flew had a large (.91) four stroke in it and was a blast to fly, but between the heavy airframe (even WITH two wings) and a larger (heavier) engine, the wing loading was on up there.

Since GP released this design several years ago, they have finally learned that great flying .40 sized aerobatic planes really shouldn't weight as much as 7 lbs ( or more!) :stupid: and their more recent offerings like the .40 CAP 232 build MUCH lighter and fly better for it.
