It's a great little plane! My friend trained on one, and he did well with it. In fact, we flew it today, and got 3 different guys flying on it this afternoon on buddy box. It's mild at low throttle, and with an 11X5 prop., (after you are quite familiar with the plane and confident ONLY) that thing smokes!!! I would reccommend this plane, as well as the Hangar9 Extra EasyII with the same glow engine.
