I've flown it, but haven't bought one because it's basically a dressed up, clipped wing J-3 brushless, which I already have 3 of. Good flying plane albeit smaller, faster, and more fragile than a Super Cub. Not really a plane I'd reccommend for a true begginer. Since sgt peanut said he has already killed his J-3, I wouldn't reccommend it for him either.
