Only thing I dont like is the landing gear is so weak. My right gear block busted all up after only a few flights and I would say the landing was not that hard. Not the best but not that hard. Had to replace the plane after a crash and same thing happened again with the right gear block coming apart on the new one. The one big weak point I see in this trainer.
There were also a number of planes that came with the gear blocks not properly glued, along with the servo blocks.

It pays to open both areas and re-apply expoxy and CA.

It's easier to cut into the existing covering then repair it, than it is to do this after it has been trashed in a crash.
