skypilot, I have yet to find anything that flies as wellace mono mod with a stir stick mod. The green plane has no official air hogs name. The name in Europe is sport flyer. That is what I refer to it as, the acro-jet is the turbo fury. I have also seen it refered to as the kiwi. I'm having issues with mine, poor range and response to controls. Others love the plane.
I'll have to agree. The AA bipe, lower wing removed, with 2 grams of weight on the nose is the best all around micro RTF configuration that I've found. I have not tried the stir stick mod because it flies so well without them. I have not needed to do the turn without throttle mod since I can lose altitude quickly enough without it. Besides, when I attempted the mod, I wrecked a transmitter
