Hi Drifter, haven't flown the others but have a Minimag myself, really can't fault it in terms of durability and build quality, if you dink it just get some normal CA and glue it back together !!!!! I bought it on the reccomendation of an instructor at a club I visited
When you build it you install the Servo's for the ailerons and then decide if you want to fly it 3 channel 1st using just rudder (in which case just don't plug the ailerson servo's in) or go straight to 4 channel and use the ailerons from the start. They're pre-built in and if / when you want to use 4 channel you literally get a modelling knife and cut at the sides of the ailerons in towards the wing, it's really easy to do and I'm no model maker !!!!!
Here's a link to a review I found on it as well http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=544877
Hope that helps !!!!
