I just got mine flying and WOW, it flies like a much bigger plane. Almost as good as my AeroWorks Extra 260 50cc. Hovers nice, rolling harriers are great, waterfalls are good, knife edges with almost no coupling and does a good wall into a hover. So far I'm real impressed with this little fella. Mine has the E-Flite Park 480, CC Phoenix 35, and a 2100 mah LiPo turning a 12X6 APC electric prop. Assembly was easy and so far it flies way better than I expected. It's 27oz ready to fly and flies very light IMHO. Overall a keeper.

i was consider the same airplane...cause the 3DHS and PA is a little out of my budget... so you are happy with this one.

I have one as well with the Eflite Park 480 as well. It's a great flying airplane! My batteries are 2 years old so it does not have enough power to hover, however with a fresh pack it would. I flew it today before it got too windy. I would recommend it!

sounds good!!! i need to practice hovers, harriers, rollings, etc!! so hope that motor can do it.

You may want to do a bit more research on the motor choice. Some have been running Turnigy from Hobbyking and Efilte Power 10 with success. I wish mine had a bit more punch out of a hover.

There was a large thread on RCU if you have not read it yet I suggest you look at it.

just tried to find the thread but i cant.

I still fly mine regularly, Park 480, 35 amp and fresh batts make it pull out of hovers with ease. With just a bit of set up skills, this plane is excellent all around.

Nitro, you are right on the money. Mine rockets out of a hover with the Park 480, CC Phoenix 35, and a 30c 2450 mah pack. By setting it up so the battery pack can be moved around to get differing CG's it can be a docile aerobat or with a rear CG it can be a 3D monster. I am not saying it's the best out there, but I haven't found anything better for the money.
