RE: 28% Extra Special 300
There's always got to be one in every bunch. OTH, I've seen many a plane that the owner said was next to worthless and after a little work correcting installation errors and replacing garbage equipment that same plane turned out to be awesome.
My personal experience with W/H planes, which is extensive, tells me that if you do the things you are supposed to do the way they should be done, and don't short change on the equipment, you will have an excellent flying plane. More OTH is that if you try to go cheap with second rate second quality products, and pay little, if any, attention to all the set up information that's been provided by hundreds of happy customers, then the short life of an aircraft can be assured. The quality of the flight maneuvers is entirely up to the skill level of the pilot.
