migflyer, what engine you're using on yours? did you had a chance to do more aerobtics? share your experience with us, would you? BTW, if you set a little negative curve on your throttle control, this plane should fly even better on your 3Ds. it seems like this Challenger responds to the engine torque quickly. So it will start to roll very quickly on a torque roll. but it's easy to be slowed down with ailarons.

the motor im using is an older 3/w 60 with side carb no major aerobatics this time due to time and on first flights i like to see how it handles and stalls. then when i bring it in i check every nut bolt basicly check everything i will post more on it after next flight
