I put around 30 flights on mine now (in 5 days) and I love it. It flies better than any plane I have flown before, including the 2m pattern ship I used to fly with.</p>

Mine did need some up trim, possibly because I don't fly 'zero gravity'. No aileron differential is needed on mine, it rolls very axial without straying from course. Basically it does everything well.</p>

I'm using the standard setup, so a Hacker A50-16L/MasterBasic Opto 90, with Zippy 8s1p 5000mAh 25C lipo's. Servo setup: 4x Futaba S9650 (aileron/elevator) and Futaba BLS 451 rudder.</p>

The 18x12 APC prop is too big a load. Full throttle it pulls about 80 amps and with an outside temperature of 17 degrees celcius the engine is about 40~45 degrees after flight. Probably that's also the reason the engine of someone else in this thread continues to break down, when flown in higher outside temperatures, the engine will overheat if you fly full throttle too much.</p>

Hacker sais: 70A max for 15 seconds. Besides the load on the engine, one has to really watch ones throttle management with an 18x12, one will easily fly to fast, which is a shame since this plane will allow you to fly it very slow.</p>

Mine tips the scale at 4kg, +/- 10 grams.</p>

If anyone is hesitating to buy this plane, stop hesitating and buy it. It flies as good as it looks.</p>
