I think this is a great flying plane, but for the price it did require a bit mor work than say a world models arf, but once you get it together it flies great. Ive probably got over 150 flights on mine. it has a ys120fz for power turning a 16-8 prop. strait pipe sounds just like the real thing. has robart retracts, and robart retract tail wheel. its a very reliable and predictable plane to fly. the coverings not the best, edges lift in some spots after a while, make sure to iron all the seams.
