ok let me start by saying im a newer pilot and no 3D pro.. that being said heres my findings. made two 8 minute flights in windy conditions.. could fly longer on packs but didnt want to come up short on power trying to land in cross winds. i became comfortable with the extra fairly quick. it does an excellent knife edge.. very little coupling with my set up.. inverted is good with minor down elevator.. rolls are nice and sharp/loops well without snaping using moderation on elevator.. it can snap at higher speeds when maximum elevator deflection is used.. this results in around a 6 to 8 foot diameter loop/on more conservative rates it loops very well and straight. it tracks very well and holds lines good even in the windy conditions i maidened mine in. flat spins were nice inverted but didnt try them upright/stall turns aka hammerheads were very nice. harriers were nice but i did get slight wing rock and it was probally do to the wind. it hovered well with good control with little torque roll tendancies. did i say it knife edges well ? i started knife edges a minute or two into the maiden it does them very well. the hardcore guys or gals may feel its slightly underpowerd for extreme 3D but mine came in at 31 ounces so it isnt gonna rocket vertical with the 480 like it does in 18 to 25 ounce planes like ive used it in before.. vertical is respectable but not "FOAMY POWER''. i think sport pilots like myself will really like it and hardcore 3D pilots will like it but want a little more power. it flew very precise for me.. snap rolls were quick and sharp. im using hs 65s all around so it helps with response and crispness during aerobatics. first thing im doing is adding a tail wheel but that will be about it for now. very pleased with first two flights.

E-Flite 480 1020kv
