Man this plane is awesome. It thermals great and really lets you know when it hits lift. there were a few mods I made that help out a lot. First of all, put a smaller prop on. A 6/3 works great. second, put a small scoop on the canopy over the hole that's there. last, make the front screw hole in the canopy into a c-cut and put velcro on the wing and the back of the canopy to hold it on. Now you won't have to take any screws out to remove the canopy. I had an hour long flight today.
