I had great success with my Falcon .25 (well Actually it has a OS .35 in it). No retracts. I bought and built this plane to learn how to land my Bobcat .55, which is fully loaded with retracts and I have lot invested. By summer I'll be ready to take the Bobcat back out. I got tired of repairing the landing gear area after every flight. I can land the Falcon .25 with good consistency.
Yeah it's pretty good at teaching you how to deal with the Bobcat.
Set it up for spoilerons and you'll really get the feel for landings.
It must scream with the OS .35.
I have mine set up with a 800 watt 14.8v motor and it is impressive to see it scream by.
