this airplane, like the flip3d....is built very fragile (light) for the purpose of 3D capability that is near ZERO airspeed for almost everything other than take-off.....For some reason great planes is not emphasizing this as much as the kyosho manual does on the flip....i know after reading all of this i will definetely be not throttle cautious but airspeed cautious on all manuvers....i think it will be a blast....
