Bipelover; I have this combo, and enjoy it very much. I am a sport flier that enjoys alot of tumbling around, which this combo does very well. I couldn't care less about unlimited vertical, 3-D, etc., but that's just my prefference. I agree with BAS, that if you want all out performance, you'll want a 2.4 or maybe even a 50cc engine. My G-38 was looking for a home, and that's the plane it ended up in. Have fun...........
