As I said earlier, the plane was a good one. The quality is not so good, but if you treat it well then you will not have any problems with it. Be careful handeling it, the wood is thin. The plane flies awesome. In the air is is as aerobatic as you want it to be. Roll rate is incredible, and so is the climb since it's lightweight. I eventually burned mine in. Destroyed the fuse, but the wing survived. I've since put the wing on my hanger 9 alpha trainer (with some modifications to the wing saddle), and it flies on. In fact, I just flew it yesterday. Here is a picture of the stinger when I first got it. It really is a good looking plane. I might suggest that you get the red one, though. The blue can be hard to see in the air. Also, with the white leading edges, it's easy to lose it on glide slope against a gray sky! I'll post some pics later of the hanger 9 conversion.
