I've logged 270 flights on mine over the last 3 years or so. I leave it assembled, throw it in the SUV and pull it out & fly it, usually during cold weather. During warm weather I'll fly bigger planes that require some assembly.

If your is the old version, there's a wire that sticks through the top wing to fasten it to the upright support, and the support is just ply. Mine pulled out, and I epoxied in some aluminum tube, works great. The first time, I got the top wing incidence positive - big mistake! Wants to leap off the ground and snap! With the top wing on negative 1 degree or so, it takes off nicely with the long takeoff runs I enjoy, and lands smoooothly, though a little fast. At first I had to bend the soft landing gear wire (Jim Dines mentioned that) every flight or two, but now that I grease the landings in all the time (shaddap, you in the back, there) I only have to bend them back ever 8 or 10 flights.

Mine's run on a Magnum .52 fourstroke since day one, 12 X 6 prop, and it just keeps getting better & better. I don't 3D, but I'll bet there are people who could hover my WM 30 Ultimate.

One thing I require, and this may be just personal preference, but I have LOTS of rudder throw... and a HT Prism with dual rate rudder. Usually I'm flying on low rate rudder, but on the ground I usually switch it to high. (A Prism has 3 rate switches, A/E/R.) It will snap like it's on double gimbals, with high rate everything. Nice four-point rolls with low rate rudder; good inverted flight, fairly stable little plane. If you can handle any plane that lands fast, you can learn to handle this one. Oh, and I wouldn't call it "Fast" in the air, but it's adequate for most any loop/roll/stall maneuver.

Good Luck,
