L.....It's advertised weight is kind of high for having only 400 squares. I would choose a 650 sq inch wing model with 4.5 pounds RTF weight. The type of model I'm suggesting is a 3D profile. They'll fly circles around anything else and be most forgiving of pilot errors.

The BEST RC PILOTS are the guys who can keep those overweight models from falling out of the sky, flight after flight. I tip my cap to those guys and those smooth 25-30 mph landings.....

I'd rather retain my status as a 2nd rate pilot and fly sport planes with lighter wing loadings and slower landings.

25 sized semi-scale models lug around the same size gear [for the most part] as a .45 sized model [with more wing area] and the all around performance suffers
