This is my favorite aerobat. I have had others, but once you fly one, YOUR HOOKED. I have managed to kill (4) of them over the past 10 years. My engine of choice is the YS 120SF. Just like a John Deere!! It runs and runs, and nothing runs like a Deere!!
That is my 2 cents. I now have (2) Ultimates the Goldberg with the YS 1.20SF and Ohio R/C with a Q-75XL. Both are a Blast to fly!
All I can say is you are in for a lot of fun whichever way you go. But straight up will probably be the most fun!!!
