...the Escapade must fly better, it has a pilot while the Pulse XT doesn't!!!
- pathetic joke...
One big question is - will the Escapade perform well with a OS .40LA? If not, I would be looking at a new engine anyway which makes the Pulse PNP a good deal.
I fly mine with a Magnum 52FS, so a .40 should be fine for it. It's not a heavy plane.
The little pilot guy is really cool but he gets unhappy when you don't tape or velcro down the canopy prior to flight which has sent him tumbling toward earth while the plane flies on during inverted maneuvers on occasion.
The plane needs a tweak or two to make it right from ARF form but this is a sweet flyer for a second plane.
