I have two of these airplanes-I have dumb thumb them both-and repaired and in the air again-just to yet you know these airplanes need the higher rate on the elevator-low rate throws are ok but the higher rate on the elevator relieves the stress on your heart-the first one I crashed when doing slow rolls at low level and it fell out and hit the pavement the second one was built like the first one but I put a 40 LA in it-the first has a magnum 52xls-needless to say CG was never checked and having that powerhouse 40 LA upfront was not a pretty sight-it flew like a drunk elephant and accomplished a 1/2 spin 40 feet up -but the first one I have flown alot-for the price they are well built and nice covering and fiberglass work-the instructions suck and the wheel pant installation per directions have alot to be desired-I put the SIG wheel pant hangers on the second one and they lasted just fine thru the crash
