the twist is snappy from what i've heard and read, i don't know about landing. I have a Funtana 40 but i haven't flown it yet but i've flow a buddys and its awesome, i flew it on high rates and man its awesome, seems like it lands ok from watching my buddy land it. The only thing you have to consider it price. It took $200-206 for the plane to get to me from Horizon. And the twist is probably under $120 for it to get to you from Horizon or were ever you ordered/buy it from. The best thing you can do now is [link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/search.asp?appid=]search[/link]. I know theres tons of threads about each airplane.
