Well, I have been thinking of getting one based on the performance of one at the club. I think the guy has a Park 450 outrunner in it. He is a good pilot, but not real experienced, and he handleed it well. I say handled, because he caught a weed on an extremely low pass, and did a cartwheel. It does look awsome on the low fly-bys, and banks sharply. Probably too much for me at this point, but I don't think I could crash it hard enough to lose more than the plane itself! My 13 year-old can probably use it.
