It really makes for a crappy 3d trainer and doesn't knife edge for garbage but its a great sport plane.
Well I bought this plane as my first glo fuel model. It has handled well in the windy conditions that frequently plague our field. It is a very stable model and you can pretty much spot land it anywhere you desire. Rolls are quick, and when you pull back hard on the elevator this sucker just snaps up to a vertical attitude almost instantly.
I am still messing with this plane to find the right combo for me. It doesn't do KE that well like AK says. I like being able to do slow KE and I can't with this model. Even at speed I have noticed it doesn't KE as well as I would like.
Nonetheless this model is absolutely a joy to fly especially in the windy conditions I encounter.
I put a OS91 FX in it and a 16x4 APC. Power is unbelievable now, vertical climbs with ease. Had to put some weight on the tail to get it ballance it back on my 5.5 CG. Still tweaking my 91 as it is still on the rich side. I may try a 14x6 APC and see how that flies. I will also be trying different CG's. I may go to a 6'' CG and see what happens.

Keep an eye on the tail feather CA hinges, they tend to break after a while. I've had to replace them a few times. For anyone just building one, it's best to put more CA hinges in than what came with it or just use pinned hinges or robarts.
