I bought one used.......has a magnum .35 engine....I love the plane, very fast. Mine cuts the wind great especially for a small plane. The only problem I have if there is no head wind, i can not get it to slow down well for the landing, so it lands a little hot.

Seriously I have 6 planes in my hanger now all ready to fly and this one is in the top 2 for favorites.

Yup, it definitely does not like to slow down. I've got a 9x6 prop. I was thinking about changing to a 10x5 to see if the lower pitch helps slow it down some. The only other thing I've found that helps is to get the idle way down and wag the wings on final to bleed off some speed.
