The Escapade was/is my third plane. Mine has Magnum 52 4S in it and it's a blast to tool around with. I went from a T-28 foamie to this one and noticed very little difference in how they handle, with the exception of the tail draggersetup of the Escapade. It's a very friendly planeandas mentioned above, very easy to bring in. The .46 should have more than enough power for Sport as well as simple Aero flying. I think you'll like it a lot.

My suggestion is to tape down the canopy prior to each flight as it does not fit that well. After doing the walk a couple of times and having to buy a new one (they're really fragile) I began doing this and have had no further issues.

I would also suggest replacing the stock tailwheel with a Sullivan or Dubro. The ARF supplied wheel is really flimsy and makes it a handful for ground handling.
