I've had one for a few years now, it's been the general "beater" get warmed up for something else plane. Flew and handled like a Fiat with a Saito 50, the Saito 56 made it a bit quicker and finally the Saito 72 (with a 3 blade prop due to ground clearence issues) that is on it now makes it handle like a Chevy.

It's not a particularly "fast" airplane as in all out speed mainly to do with the thickness of the wing. If you want "fast" then something like a Lil' Toni with a very thin wing is more what you are looking for. The Something Extra is just a good nimble fun fly plane.
