Ben , my oldest son just got one. While I have not flown it yet just watching him I can tell it is a great plane . I am a bit jealous and will have one myself after a little more time on the trainer. His learning curve was a good bit better than mine. The only gripe I have with the ARF are those straight slott screws ( I think they ought to be banned from the face of the earth ) We built his as a trike and power it with a Tower .46
