I i did it twice already! i have that Shun Da airplane, its electric uses 380 motor and it has 3 channels, rudder elevator and speed control. Well on my first flight i kinda messed up and the flight lasted about .5 seconds [], the wing broke, so I put in place and taped all over, it held !! My second flight was good but i didn't see a tree... nothing broke though! and then i did about 4 more flights from the battery, all of them were very successful as i think, i even did a loop! And then i flew the airplane the next day too and I didn't crash it or anything! I though it was much easier then people say, plus right before I left I read someones opinion about the Shun Da and person was saying it was the wost airplane he ever saw...but i don't think so, although I cant tell because this is my 1st RC I also had about 4 years of experience ( i am 14 right now) of flying in dreams and reading about it, that helped I guess . right now the battery is charging i might be able to fly it again today

Opinions are just that, they are not always fact, point is if you like it you are the one to please, tell them that as long as this is a free country you'll fly it wether it is ugly or not, make yourself happy and don't worry about yahoos.( Not to be confused with Yahoo.com, no pun intended). Live for yourself Life can be very long or very short.

My wife thinks the Ultra Stick is the uglyest plane alive but I bought 2 of them, were't ugly until I crashed them.
