We have one with 56 flights on it. We like it well enough that we should test fly our 2nd one next week. Price is the reason you don't see more of them. Jason S. says it flies just like the 40%, it just rotates a little faster in snaps. With the exception of the TroyBuilt 260 , I like it better than anything I've flown, better than most 40% airplanes.

The spar has not caused any problems. Despite having heard that they are difficult to repair, It's not really that hard, and no I'm not explaining how I know that.

As to the weight, have you seen it on a scale. Our first is the red, white, orange, and yellow version. It is 24.4 with 1650 Nimh batteries. The solid color versions are about 1 lb. lighter plus whatever finish you put on it.
