Hi Murdoc

That's the plane i learned on, with a .40 size engine it's as slow as a turtle on valium

After i got used to it, i installed dual aileron servos tu use flapperons and dude, the plane just hangs in there motionless into the wind.

It's a very, VERY good trainer, i soloed on it after 4 hours, it can take a very hard beating.

It's just a personal opinion but 600mah seems too little, at least for a freak like me who likes to fly for 3-4 hours straight (i started using 6v - 2100mah on that plane)

But beware, at least for me it was a pain in the "rudder" to fly it inverted with a OS .40LA [:@]

Anyway... you'll love it
