nah, it isn't to squirrelly ! But it isn't a floater either. You don't really have to worry about snapping out or stalling over the wing. It will fly by with just a couple of clicks of throttle. Sloooow. Lands within 10 feet maybe. Does all the things you want. It is not a 3D plane but isn't a trainer either. It's cool to just throw in the car, and fly maybe during lunch. Fits on the passenger seat in your car.
