I got a friend flying that plane. I've had a chance to play with it a little but he's never really set it up for 3D. He's flies on a os 51, plenty of power. Hovers quite well and at about half throttle. And yet we're very high above sea level. Torque rolls quite nicely as well. Only other things I can say about the bird is the surfaces are very capable. Ailerons are beasts. Oh and kife edge loops are also very easy so I guess that says something.

Then on the downside. Quality is not that impressive. The canopy breaks in a matter of weeks so you'll need to reinforce that. Wood quality and covering are quite bad as well. But hey I suppose it's a fairly cheap arf, so you get what you pay for.

IMO if I need a 3D plane that'll put me in the air quickly. I'd probably have a look at it. The overall package weighes out quite nicely between quality and flight performance.

Hope this helps.
