Sure. I flew one yesterday and found it very docile. Its low wing, and that will take a bit of getting used to, but not much. the biggest thing is its a bit delicate and doesn't look like it would stand much abuse. On the plus side, it lands slowly and easily, is very stable (for a neutrally stable plane) and tracks well for aerobatics. its not the best 3D plane I've ever flown, but would be a good stepping stone into that realm of flying.

Absolutely, they're great planes, and as long as your landings are ok then by all means go for it

Yes, it hovers and KEs well, but I found a bit of wing rock in harrier. the one I flew might have needed a Cg adjustment

I agree with the previous posts, but need to add something. Be SURE to check the vital glue joints if you buy this plane. Mine had extremely weak glueing on the servo tray and the wind hold down block. Just because you see that there is glue around these areas do not assume that there is glue in the joint. Give a good tug to make sure that they are really secure. I almost lost my plane....

I had a Banchee, up until "the incident" and liked it. It flys 10x better then UCANDO. It's not the best 3D machine out there but it's pretty good as a fun flyer. Don't expect all the nice flat spins, staight knife edges and everything like some good profiles can do. My take of it is a greatly improved version of the UCANDO 46.

A harrier is where the model flies a level flight path but with its nose high. If you search on this forum there's a few threads about the banchee, and one at least contains a link to my mate Dan G's video of one.
