This plane seems quite popular with everyone but me. If you read all the post you will find it has nose over tendencies out of the box(requires full up while taxing and be real careful in grass) Also it does land pretty hot. With a larger engine it has a high wing loading. Mine had Surpass 91 and landed very fast. If you try to slow it down to much it will tip stall. Also mine had the infamous "cap snap", were it snaps out of a loop if I put in more than half elevator. I seemed to be the only person here that has had that problem even though I balanced it laterally, made sure the elevator halves were in sync, moved the CG forward and aft, all to no avail. I will try when it warms up outside with a .46 size 2-stroke just for the fun of it to see if it will land slower.

That said, it is a very well built ARF. It goes together great. I used only the hardware supplied(many people recommend several upgrades). It will really let you toss it around in sky. Rolls on high rates are hard to count, very fast. It goes were you tell but it seemed like I had to tell it alot to get it there I would think if pattern is you interest, this might not be the plane for you. However, if you have never flown this style of plane, you may find yourself enjoying it evenmore.
If you have the extra money to afford being dissapointed, go for it!! You will always wonder if you don't. If you only really can budget one plane, maybe research more options.

Good luck to you!!!
