I had one and it flew quite well, in fact it could almost be used as a trainer, but the horizontal stab was a solid slab of what had to be the densest balsa in existance making the plane so tail heavy that it needed a lot of lead in front of the firewall to balance at the proper CG. If you need to put that much lead up front, you may as well put a .60 on it and then the nose weight would at least be functional.
If you want to do 3-D, the Ultra Stik would probably be a better choice. It's designed to be light.
