It's a very nice airplane. Easy to fly, very easy to make perfect landings. I have a Thunder Tiger 1.20 2 stroke in mine which is way too much power, but it doesn't hurt anything. A little extra weight in the front is no big deal, I just put the elevator servos in the tail (2 JR mini-digitals, 3420 I think) and it balances fine.

FYI this is a real fun airplane but NOT a precision aerobatic plane. It will do most aerobatics, but is sloppy, does not hold straight lines well, etc. But great fun, I keep mine around for a break from the big ones.
