Hey IronCross I had 2 of these planes, and they are awesome, they cut through highwinds with ease and will spin like is on a wire. and that was on low rates. I had a misfortune with a radio and lost one, and sold the other the day before. I can also tell you that they will take a heck of a lick, my went full throttle into the pavement on take off, it took off got about 20 feet in the air flipped inverted and down she went, I had no control nor did my instructor. FREAK ACCIDENT, Picked up the pieces and had her back together that night. It is one of the most solid built planes I've owned.. I hope this helps, and support at KangkeUSA couldn't have been better.
