My plan for the plane was to use it as an aerobatic trainer. It has the look of what I want/need to get my feet wet on "patterns". I have the ARF now, scrounged it up in CA and had it shipped to me. Yes it's discontinued, not sure why cause it looks like one heckova plane. I am putting an OS .46FX in it. I think that should work fine for what I want to do with it.
