Thanks for the replies, guys. Being a newbie, I may ask some very rudimentary questions, so please bear with me!

What is it about it's flying characteristics that are considered by some to be inferior to other planes?

What is a "tt .46 with a 11x5 APC"? I gather that the ".46" part of that is an engine of some kind. I see that over at http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...70P?I=USAA2030 you can select different engines. What's the difference in them?

Also I understood that you could easily remove the engine and slide it into the other US Aircore plane, the Colt. This sounds like a desireable feature. What do you guys think?

Thanks again.
