There was a thread on another RCUniverse forum. Overall, it looks pretty good, but it appears to be a pretty hot airplane. You'll have to make your own decision whether you're ready for it or not.

There was some question about the firewall that some guys (not all) experienced.. Also, in the thread below, you will see that there is a reference to an "A-Frame" style of spinner included with the kit. I just received my kit a week ago, and the spinner is of the "Tru-Turn" style, though I'm sure that it's made by GP and not Tru-Turn. Here's the thread:

My brother bought the Lil Toni and installed a Saito 100 in it. He was very impressed with the quality of the ARF, and the construction techniques used.

My brother let me fly it and the plane is pretty fast, and needs to be landed on the "hot" side, but it flys "true". ie. It goes where you point it.

As for dead sticks, all I'll say is, "keep the nose down, and don't try to stretch the glide". It will stall on you, it doesn't "mush along" like some lightly loaded planes, but it's a nice plane to fly.

Dennis, thanks for the heads-up on the glide. Yeah, that's a sin I commit - trying to stretch the glide. I'll have to re-train my brain. I have a Saito 91 in mine. What's your brother using for a prop?

Thanks,

Bob
