I absolutely love this plane... I would recommend it enthusiastically as a great second plane to step up from a 3-Channel, like I am doing from a Super Cub... HOWEVER I can verify I had several frustrating problems just getting her worthy to fly. I am flying the RTF model just for the record....

First Kit - The ESC completely fried during taxi without even getting off the ground.
(result: I was given a new second kit)

Second Kit (replacement) - Bad Radio... the plane was fully functioning - but no aileron control whatsoever!
(result: The hobby store swapped in the radio from the first kit, to my second kit)

First Flight Near Disaster... I did a full range check from over 100' away, and all seemed good. Upon takeoff the plane climbed out smoothly, and then all of sudden interferance like mad... the plan jutted all over the sky... luckily i was able to get it around back to the runway and got it down in the dirt somewhat gently off to the side.
(result: I switched up for a hi-tech receiver(dual conversion), and put in a matching dual conversion crystal for the original Parkzone radio channel I was flying)

Second Flight Was Beautiful... and I'm very happy with the plane. My advice though would be to go PNP to begin with and get a quality radio/transmitter. I guess it all depends where you fly... but at the AMA field I frequent, I had huge intereferance issues. If you do buy the RTF version... I would watch out for radio issues, and be prepared to put in a dual conversion receiver if necessary. Also whether you buy the PNP or the RTF, I'd really watch the ESC... it seems like a weak link, and I'm prepared to replace if it need be... only because I've now seen several postings on other sites of others also frying the ESC just like I did on my First Kit.

Hopefully the issues I experienced are the exception and not the norm... this is really a fantastic plane to fly, and I'd hate to see it fail in the market because of suspect electronics. On a positive note, I can say I received nothing but exceptional service in replacing the bad elements from Hobby Town where I bought it... this is also a credit to HobbyZone, who gives the LHS the confidence to back up the products as well.
