The high speed stall on this plane is normal, and definately can be used to your favor. It can also cause utter destruction if not prepared for it.

This kit is definitely one of my favorites. Not only is it a joy to build, but to fly it well, it forces you to be a better pilot. No more can you get away with jerking the elevator around, everything must be smooth and precise (an a bit of expo doesn't hurt either). I'll have to admit, after the first couple of flights, I was scared of this plane. However, once I learned how to fly it properly, it was one of the funnest, best flying planes I've had. (notice the the use of "was", it was lost to battery failure. ) It flys best between 7-7 1/2 lbs, but I've had it all the way to 8 lbs and it still flew very well (fast landings though). I even went as far as installing a smoke system, it was pretty cool for such a small plane.

The real key to getting this plane tuned in is definately in the prop. Preferably a large diameter low pitch prop. The low pitch (6 or less) prop will literaly put on the brakes when you throttle back, making it very easy to land slowly, right where you want it.
