funny you should ask as I got the chance to fly one last night. We have a about a half a dozen of them arounf here in Omaha but I never seem to be at the field when they guys have them out....go figure....

The one we were flying last night had a super tiger .45 on it and an APC 12.75 x 3.75 prop. The engine is a bit on the heavy side and it resulted in a nose heavy plane as well but even with that I could tell it had potential. At $95 a peice you could afford to smash a few before going bankrupt!

It's a nice plane and I would say it's definately a better first choice than an Ultra Stick for 3D style flying. I still think my OMP Edge is a much better flyer though but it's a kit and this is an ARF that can be bought and flying for less money.

If you are really interested in 3D I can't say this enough. Get a simulator...if you don't have one. If you have Realflight G2...it's great, but NOT for 3D.

Get Ikarus[link=http://www.aeroflypro.com/] Aerofly Pro[/link], worth EVERY penny as a 3D teaching aid. G2 can be modifies to some extent but the planes in AFP stall much more realistically and require very little in the way of adjustments to get them to perform as desired.
