it is a good plane. it will stall at about the speed you can run, but it screams at 70 mph in a dive no problem. it can do an inverted loop with a .46 fx, (really impressive for a trainer) and flies with only about half down elevator as opposed to around full with some trainers. it has survived a lot, has a nice color scheme. it is easy to tell bottom from top, and stands out in any weather.
