I had recently crashed my mini-pulse xt and was looking for something to build that used similar equipment. Someone in the Kit Building threads suggested a Mountain Models Etana. All I can say is THANK YOU! I have put only four flights on it, but this thing is awesome and the build was a dream. My previous building experience was also fun. It was a Great Planes Slow Poke Sport 40. I really enjoyed watching that one take shape and learning how to cover and getting all the tools, taps, drills, etc... But Mountain Models kits are amazing! If you haven't built one you should try one. I have built rc products since I was about 12, but this Etana was the most enjoyable thing I have ever built. It flies amazingly well. It is soooooo light, yet it is strong and can even handle some wind (thank goodness, the smallest amount of wind we have had the last two months is 10mph). If you are looking for an aerobatic electric that is almost the size of a .40 glow plane, then I fully recommend the Etana. I hope to build Brian's new bird or the MM P-51 next. Won't my wife be soooooo happy to have more planes in the hangar!!!

Happy Flying
