Hello, I have this plane also. I agree with the other post about tracking on takeoffs. I had a heck of a time getting it to track straight. But once you get then hang of it it is a Very Nice Flyer. I have a Saito 81 in it and really move's. It is a little rough on the stiff retract gear from Hobbieco, But I bend them back every few flights. Watch the CG it is a bear to fly if your tail heavy. I recovered mine and my nephew has the standard coating on his.
It also like's some power on landing.
I am happy with mine it looks real good in flight and is very acrobatic for a warbird.

Good luck what ever way you go.
