Fastky, if you`re looking for just a super fun to fly take-it-to-the-field-every-weekend sport plane, then I think you`ll love the Pulse. I REALLY enjoy flying mine. It`ll do more than I`m comfortable trying to do right now. I think you`re right in that it doesn`t have a blurringly fast role rate like a cranked up Extra or Edge on high rates, but it`ll do all the basics and then some. You`re right also that it`s a floater, but that won`t take long at all to adjust for on approach. Enjoy!!
