I had one for a few years and it was one of the best flying planes I've ever had. I lost it when it deadsticked while flying inverted and downwind. It really is a majestic plane that looks great doing barnstormer type maneuvers. I flew mine with a 28cc converted Maculloch weedwhacker and it flew just like a full sized Stearman. Very realistic sound and flying speed.
My advice is to put ailerons on top, just because it's so easy to do and beef up the landing gear because if they haven't changed it, it's too flimsy for the plane.
It's on my list of planes I'd build again someday.
