I have 10 arf's in my hanger. Everything from WW2 warbirds to cessna's. My Escapade is by far my go to plane. The darn thing flys like a trainer and can handle anything I throw at it. It lands slow and stable.I've powered mine with O.S 40 la and O.S 46ax. This is about as good as your gonna get for a hundred dollar ARF! I'm gonna buy another one just as a back up. <u> </u>
