I feel like I may be one of the first in the US to post on this plane, as they have just come available here. My thoughts are :
1. New to 3D? Get one to learn on. They have excellent low speed and harrier flying abilities. No whacky porpoising on landings, plenty of rudder control.
2. Flies great on a K&B 61 with 5% cool power and stock muffler. Pullout is better than my F-90 with OS 1.08.
3. Wide speed envelope. Flies fast just as well as it flies slow. No problems with flutter. I'm using Hitec 425bb's on ailerons and elevators, with a 605bb on rudder. The servos give the throw you need in slow flight, but obviously don't hold at high speed. Ailerons could use 70 oz/in to be sure you are getting all you can. However, the surfaces are light and not overbuilt, so too much torque is likely to bend or break something.
4. Can't beat the price with a stick! I got mine for $125 and didn't need to go back to get this and that to make it fly like it should. Used all the supplied hardware, and it all seems perfectly adequate for this size model.
5. The red and yellow looks much better in the air than the blue and yellow. Even if you are not interested in 3D, this is a great flying sport plane that is fun to just shoot landings with. The cg on mine is at or just behind the rear mark and it's perfect there. No need to go experimenting with moving it around. For you guys with the big bucks and the high dollar setups, this plane would be a great one to knock around the sky and really show off to the crowd. If you can hover and harrier around on the deck with a Funtana, you'll be able to drag this one all over the grass without even thinking about it.
6. Quick to build. I spent about 10 hours on mine. Should it have an early demise it will definitely be replaced with another one.
