I was with the Tony, the owner of T&A in Burbank on Thursday. He had one for its first flight. That thing is awesome. Takes off in 15 feet into a vertical climb to about 75 feet. The plane was fast and Tony could not believe this is an RTR for $220. The gears are a bit loud, but other than that I would say get one and enjoy. He said it handles well in both modes and is really easy to fly. his only gripe is that it does not come with a LiPo battery.
