I have this 'kit', and have flown it WELL over 100 times, with a Saito .91 and on-board glow. I did NOTHING AT ALL to bash the kit, even used the stock pushrods all the way. In a nutshell, YOU'RE GOING TO LOVE THIS A/C!! With the Saito, it won't climb vertically, but is certainly overpowered from a scale standpoint. You won't need to practice 'energy management' to do great loops, rolls, etc. With the surfaces set up at MAX DEFLECTION for AILERON AND RUDDER, and just enough LESS THAN MAX on the ELEVATOR to allow full pulls without a snap, the plane will snap and spin on command, and requires no adverse inputs to recover. In short, it's a joy to fly. I spend the evenings doing tight-circle-the-field touch and goes, until it gets too dark to see the thing. I've got the CG WELL AFT, almost 1/2" back from the rearmost CG mentioned in the manual and it still flies like a kitten. LET ME KNOW HOW YOU LIKE IT!!
