Flying Characteristics:-

Being an Extra, it flies pretty straight and true, but can snap in a tight loop, or when recovering from a fast downline, if you have the CG too far back and / or have too much elevator movement.

Don't yank it into the air, unless you have a lot of power on board. Make sure it has enough airspeed on takeoff before leaving the ground.

Landing needs a little throttle management. That is, dont' come in too slow (or too fast! but hotter is a better mistake than too slow!). Have a tiny bit of throttle as you approach, and don't make the landing flight path too flat. Only chop the throttle completely at the very last stage.

Other than that, a great plane to fly, that is very forgiving.

Watch the snap though!
