Well,

Initially, I was impressed by the overall quality and looks of the plane, especially considering the low price. I used an OS .70 4-stroke. It was alittle tricky getting the mount centered since the instructions were poor. Luckily, I'd built enough planes to figure it out on my own. The hardware was also pretty bad in mine, I replaced everything with Du-Bro. The wing wasn't centered due to misaligned dowels (These came already installed). I'm not sure if the wing is intended to be offset but I doubt it. I also recomend adding some hardwood blocks for the cowl mounting screws. Even with the few flaws, this was still a nice plane for the money.

When it came to flying, it was a little more of a handful than I was ready for. It liked to snap with even small amounts of elevator. The plane stalls very easy, at least mine did. Dead sticks were scary, the plane didn't like to glide at all. It may have glided better if I set up flaperons. Some people may not see these things as a problem but it took some of the fun out of flying for me. I've read other reviews of the plane and people loved it. I guess it all comes down to flying skills and personal preference. I'd rather have a blast with my Somthin Extra or Hangar 9 Twist though.

I still like the looks of a Sukhoi though and I'll probably end up with one again.
