Don't worry Peter, the Pulse is a great low speed sunday flier as well. It will handle pretty well a fairly low speeds. It does need a bit of thrust to keep altitude in banked turns but I can fly the pattern at my field at 1/4 throttle no problem. Just like any sport type plane it will need a bit of speed going into any aerobatic move but you can throttle up, pull over the top of the loop, then right back down to 1/4 throttle again. With the flaperons activated you would swear the plane will fall out of the air but instead it just mushes along with the tail a bit low. You'll like the plane...I promise.
