I think what lots of folks want to know is how well they fly with the SPE26cc engine that's offered in a bundle.
Just based on the videos from the Peak Model website, that engine seems to be working awfully hard in a hover (no vertical pull-outs are shown, only a transition to forward flight or a harrier -- which suggests they're really a bit weak for 3D) and they sound absolutely awful in the mid-range.
If this combo is a good pairing I'd buy one -- but I'm not about to gamble that much $ without some feedback from someone who's actually flown it.

To put things in proper perspective, they aren't weak. Instead they are too small. A 40cc gas/petrol engine would come close to producing the power of a 1.6 glow engine.
No one should ever expect a gas/petrol fueled engine to keep up in power with the same displacement glow engine. It doesn't work that way in our universe, and it never will.
No amount of advertising/marketing hype will change this fact in the least.
