RE: Showtime
Is that you flying it Stephen? If so, you're good =)
I still like my ST a lot, even though I've had a few larger, more pricey planes since. Right now it's grounded due to an ignition defect, (I'm running gasoline in mine) but the turn-around time is only a couple weeks so I'll have it up and running again soon.
You really can't beat this plane as a mix of pattern and 3D. I've done some of the most impressive hovering, torque-rolling, and rolling harriers with this plane that my club has seen, and then I won 1st place in a pattern competition we hosted WITH THE SHOWTIME!! I'm not really that good, but if you set this plane up right, it really is the best of both worlds and can make you look better than you are... =)
