I have flown the snot out of my alpha .40 at this point. the evo engine is like a swiss watch. almost never have to adjust it unless there is a 30* change in temperature. it has only deadsticked on me when i was dumb enough to run it out of gas. the plane flies wonderfully. if you get confident and bored, you can increase the throws and put a 2 bladed prop on it and go nuts. still a fun plane to fly once you get some experience in. the sim that comes with the package deal ain't great, but better than nuthin. if you do go with it though, be sure to go beyond the assembly instructions and epoxy the wing halves together. cheap insurance there.
