It flies in between actually-faster than scale but not a speed demon, it is built with four ailerons with four standard servos, it will slow down and fly scale but on high rates it has a fairly quick roll rate. The G-23 pulls it nicely and burns pennies compared to dollars-another question was asked about the G-23 and it was replaced by the G-26 which has just a bit more power. The plane lands nicely doing wheeled landings on the main but it is awkward for me to try to 3-point the landing but I am not as a great a pilot as some people. The only word of advise I can tell you is too make sure you use some nice ply on the wing strut mounting plates-I built mine first out of light ply and they broke when assembling on the 2nd flight and it was a pain in the as>. I went back with some aircraft grade 3/32nd and it works well.
