Congratulations! It's a mighty sweet ride if you treat it well. I haven't even begun to dive thoroughly into its capabilities and it's already a hand-full for someone who's just getting into advanced aerobatics. Also, it's one tuff airplane as well. Long story short, I flew mine into a tall rod sticking out from the ground and cut right into the wing. It dropped instantly from the sky (I was about 4 ft. on a slow/low landing approach), pancaked to the ground, and was flying the next morning. It can take the abuse. [:@]
