Yes this combination does fly well!!! The plane came to 18 lbs and the engine w/20x10 dynathrust pulls 16 lbs. Takeoff was about 100 feet at 1/2-3/4 throttle. No bad tendencies, only needed 2 clicks of right aileron. Only got one flight before dark so not much aerobatics, did a loop on low rate at 1/2 throttle and a roll on hi rate....no problems. Great plane to fly, to bad the construction wasn't the same GP needs to work on this one a bit more.
