This was my first "real" IMAC airplane, flew real nice, won "Basic" at a major competition with it. I had a BME 2.7 up front. Only comment I have is be careful about weight aft of the C.G. and get some new landing gear from TNT. The gear supplied with the kit will bend even on the most gentle landing and like the other post said, it is too short to give you comfortable prop clearance. Got any other questions, just give drop me a line. welcome to the club!
