The Advanced 40 is a great plane/flier!! This too was my second plane. If you set it up per the manual, it flys very stable. As your skills improve, you can start increasing control thows, and move Cg aft. Then the plane is quit the sport flier. I started with an OS 46FX, then put a Webra 50 on it, WOW that was a blast. The only thing i really did diff than manual, was I epoxyed the tail feathers on along with the nuts & bolts. Overall, I loved the plane, great performer, sturdy, good quality ARF. You will not regret it!!

Enjoy,
