The Sensation has been discontinued, so spare parts may become difficult to get down the line. I got one of the last ones from Tower when they went on sale. Haven't even put it together yet, but it's built to the Kyosho standards that I expected (I have a Mustang ARF from Kyosho as well), which means all wood construction, fiberclass cowl and pants, and very light. But unlike the sticky backed covered Mustang, the Sensation uses real iron on covering (although matching the checkerboard colors may be real tough). Hardware is crap and will be replaced, but I do that with most ARFs these days.

Both models are fixed gear, and both will need larger wheels to fly off grass (maybe no wheel pants). The Sensation is designed to work with the standard muffler, NOT a pits, just from lookin' at the cowl, a pitts would be a tough fit with LOTS of cutting involved.

Both should be great pattern fliers. Due to the Sensation's extremely tall fueslage, I'm guessing that it'll knife a bit better, otherwise the planes should fly very similarly. I was kinda surprised with the control surfaces (especially the elevators) size on my Sensation. I had thought that a F3A type would have larger surfaces, but the planes not built for 3D, so I'm sure it's enough for what it's designed to do.
