Not to beat a dead horse........but I had a Split 280. The premise was basically that this thing can take a licking and still keep ticking. Well, one good smack on the nose and that's all she wrote.

I should have suspected something when the instructions called for taping the motor onto the fuse with double sided tape. Basically, the foam is so thin that it tears easily upon significant impact. It was very erratic at first, but by the time I could tweak it just right it was demolished beyond repair. It was in the trash after about 3 flights.

For me.... a total rip-off. But that's just my experience.
