As far as ARFs go, I think this is a good one...and it's on sale at a more reasonable price right now ($170 at HobbyPeople.net).

Mine went together without any real glitches...it was a quick assembly. The covering and craftsmanship was very good. I was really impressed with the strength of the fire-wall area.

I recommend really strenghtening the landing gear mount...mine and a friends both popped out without a lot of stress. I replaced their wire push-rods with 2/56 threaded ones and matching clevises. Everything else is stock. I recommend cutting the sides of the servo tray out so you can reach the metal cabane adjustment screws with needle nose pliars after assembly is complete.

I have a YS .63 on it. I think it's perfect. Will hover (up high) though it won't pull out of the hover. This plane is smooth, but can be snappy. I have 2 oz of lead on the tail.

If you want a quick bipe, this is a good one.
