I almost hate to say it but I will put my 46 size spad "Ciggypack" up against any plane in the world!I have 11 oz. Radical Edge 540 all the way to a 1/3 scale Laser 2000 so I have plenty to compare it to..It will do a hovering figure 8 in about a 25' area.Don't get me wrong as I like all airplanes but if you want to practice hovering and have a blast with a $5 airplane(except gear) that is ugly,make you a spad.There are a few designs that are good and most are only good at slow speed fun.The draw back besides being ugly and unconventional is you go through a lot of props before you quit for the day because you will! keep pushing the limits until you crash.The good thing is that usually only means a trimmed down prop and a bent landing gear.These things are unbelievable.Enough said.
