I also had an aircore myself and I really didn't care to much for it. I did fly nicely and I have to give the plane that. But they are said to take a beaten and I have destroyed two of them . The crashes were a little violent where I made a mistake and the plane disappeared below a hill just off to the side of the landing strip . when I went to retrieve the plane it had ripped the wings in half and totally pulled the wing dowels out of the fuselage totally destroying the everything from the windshield to the back windshield . I did fix the wing but ended up using the wing from the second one. Just like Birdnest said I also think the thing is a royal pain in the $(&% to build especially the wings. the second one I destroyed when I was at the flying field flying the plane when one Idiot that was there that day purposely swooped up and caused a mid air collision. his prop busted the only piece of wood in the plan, the wing spare right in half. I was able to control it upside down because the wing was hanging on by a few pieces of plastic, but needless to say when I got it near the ground and flipped it over for the final touchdown the damage was to sever to fix.
