Why bother lowering the top wing? Its fun scale, and it sure is fun to fly. Very easy take offs, flys around like a kite. Over power it and it will do amazing things in the air. Put floats on the SE5a and it lifts from water light a bird and skims the surface on landings. Without a doubt in my mind, this is one of the best planes that I have ever owned in 12 years of building and flying. Its the plane that is always ready to go to the field.
