How will this thing fly?
Just got around putting together a Willhobby Pole Cat 40 size ARF. WWW.willhobby.com Model # BNP-DS-001 It will be powered by a Magnum XL 46 w/ pitts style muffler. The plane looks like a rocketship. The construction is not too bad, considering the price. ( With shipping 75 bucks.) I 'm an intermediate pilot w/ 3 yrs. experience. Will this plane have any bad habits or suprises? Thanks Forgot to mention it has a 50" wsp

It is a racer, notice the thin wing. So yes, it will be a rocket.
The only surprise you may find is that if you slow down too much on landing, it may fall out of the sky. Since it's designed to fly fast, it won't fly very well slow.
So don't try to "Float it in". It won't do it. Just keep the speed up and land it a little on the hot side.

Why in the H - E double toothpicks are they advertising it as a 3-D flyer?
"Designed by Will Hobby to be one of the best 3D fliers, Pole Cat embodies both speed and maneuverability. This is made possible by its lightweight material and high-quality construction. Its fiberglass fuselage and cowling made for ultra realistic look. The complete balsa wing offers high durability at lightweight. The plane is speedy and agile. It is one aircraft any dedicated 3D pilots cannot miss."
