Default RE: RTF Covering

Well, I don't really have anything to compare it to, since it's my first plane but I like it a lot. It's nice and large so I can see it well. I've been out at the flying field about a half-dozen times and can now fly inverted and it is fairly stable. I was told it would want to right itself and turn over, but it's not that difficult to maintain. It can fly very slowly without stalling. If there is a decent wind, I throttle back to idle and it practically floats in the air. I can't do a lot of acrobatics. Rolls are very slow and the plane tends to loose altitude. I'm self taught and the plane has worked very well for me.

The main problems:
A 12x6 prop is suggested, but the wheels are so small that the prop can very easily dig into the dirt while taxiing or landing. I'd put larger wheels on the plane.
The stripes on the plane peel off very easily.

Hope this helped.
