With the recommended setup the Eflight has better climb rate from what i could dig up. Very similar planes. I think the Eflight has longer ailerons and flaperon option. I like the EStick graphics better. I had to warranty return my original wing on the Estick, aileron linkage was in the wrong location and it wouldn't move. Monocote looked like a prune, the owner of the LHS ironed on it for a couple of hours before I picked it up, I almost asked for my money back. Stripped the gears on one of the servos since the linkage rods were binding. You won't have it in the air in 4Hrs but if you like tinkering I recommend it, it flies great. Emailed GreatPlanes, they said go through the LHS for warranty issues then contact them if I still had trouble. My issue was it's sold as an ARF, factory quality control could be better. Zrat
