To be honest it flies just great! It will do all of the 3D maneuvers even though it is really an IMAC plane. I have another plane for learning 3D on. A WH Edge 540T V2 that is probably the most stable plane I've ever flown. I plan on using this one to learn/practice IMAC maneuvers and play around with a bit. Even so, with the DL in it it has more then enough power for anything you'd want to do with it. Here's the culprit that caused all of the fuss!
