I just bought one second hand from a fellow in my club. He said that it was too much for him and it had just been sitting for while. I got it for a really reasonable price. So reasonable that I didn't ask if he had put it in or not. I checked it out top to bottom and it has definitely been flown but it is in very good shape none the less.

I say this to qualify my answer some what. I am having a blast flying mine so far. It is very light and flys as such. The roll rate is ballistic and it will pitch into a loop or a wall right now. I have a magnum .52 in it which is plenty of power and it will hover almost effortlessly with very little input at just about 3/8 throttle. It will harrier with very little wing rock. Knife edge is the only place that I am not all that happy with it so far. It has some pretty nasty pitch coupling in knife edge as well as some roll. I took the time to mix it out so it will now fly horizon to horizon in knife edge at half throttle very easily. So harrier rolls, continuous rolls, and really slow rolls are accomplished quite easily. It just gets a little harry when I go to do knife edge loops or really slow knife edge harriers. Not really sure how to correct that problem yet.

I had a Fusion 3d from OMP at the beginning of the summer and I just never felt as comfortable after four months of flying as I do after two weeks of flying this little puppy. Of course it might just be my style of flying but I really am having a blast with the Sukhoi.
