My brother bought the Lil Toni and installed a Saito 100 in it. He was very impressed with the quality of the ARF, and the construction techniques used.

My brother let me fly it and the plane is pretty fast, and needs to be landed on the "hot" side, but it flys "true". ie. It goes where you point it.

As for dead sticks, all I'll say is, "keep the nose down, and don't try to stretch the glide". It will stall on you, it doesn't "mush along" like some lightly loaded planes, but it's a nice plane to fly.
