I bought this plane for my first, but when it came to landing I kept breaking the gear, so I went to a trainer and learned to land better. I put floats on it too. Lots of fun. I up graded to a Magnum70 4 stroke. I fly with a 13x5, but with floats I went to a 13x6. It was under powered with the 13x5. I had to fly full throttle with flaps 1/2 down.
