This could be a good choice if you're looking for a smaller plane, light weight, lots of dihedral to keep it stable. If you're going with a plane this size, you should invest in smaller servos, a light receiver, and then go with a .10 engine. It would be a huge amount of fun, and contrary to popular belief, small planes are not "harder to fly". If you like this size, go for it.
