Its a nice plane to fly, the covering is very well done for an ARF, it holds up. The plane flies well and is easy to handle. I found that the plane is easy to fly and land. It does seem to like a higner pitch prop more, something like a 7" would be great for this plane. If you are flying very well on your trainer then go for it but don't expect her to land like the trainer, its not much harder but she will not float in.
