I have this plane and success depends on your flying experience. Many have had problems flying this plane because the assumption is that since it is a high wing plane, it should fly like a trainer. Thats not exactly the case. Setup is everything on this plane. It is actually a pretty wild and wooly aerobatic plane and CAN be a lot of fun. But for a novice, I would recommend the following throws: 1/4" rudder, elevator, ailerons. That tones it down quite a bit until you get the hang of it. If the landing gear get spread out a little the ground handling will be hard to manage. Its a very short coulple aircraft. But once your used to it, its a ton of fun. Mine is about 12 years old and is currently being recovered and put on floats.
