It's a nice flying plane, not the best as far as profiles go because it is a little heavy and snaps at low speeds with too much elevator input. I used mine for quite a while, learned how to hover and do rollers with it. Control throws are all you can get, balance it on the CG, and use a strong 46 ball bearing engine for good performance. I ended up dorking mine and gave it to someone at the field, who fixed it and now has a 60 for power. Definitely a strong performer now! The wing and tail wood are a little soft so be careful with the tail. The wing will take the abuse of nearly anything you can throw at it. Don't fly it too fast though; I fluttered an elevator half off after a particularly impressive full power inverted spin. I landed it and built another elevator and flew it for a while longer.
