I just got one of those myself and put it together. All I can say is it looks pretty sharp since it hasn't been flown yet, could have all the flight characteristics and aerodynamics of a garbage can lid for all I know. Taking it to a RC club open house next weekend and see if I can get one of the instructors to take it up and check it out. In the meantime I'll just get my fix on the simulator. I'll be checking back on this thread for an answer from someone who has experience on this model and hope for the best.

I just hope you're not referring to the Electric version of the Airstrike......if you are....the garbage can lid will fly BETTER

Believe it or not.....yes. Sensitive on the elevator, under controlled on the rudder.

Gentlemen, I have to tell you that today 6/16/04 is the last day my hobbyshop will sell anything MegaTech!!! I have struggled with their MegaGarbage, that is known by other names at the flying fields.
I am sick of their faulty products such as, engines that lean out no matter how many configurations the adjustments (high and low speed needle settings) are set. Terrible R&D, the carb. that came with the . 61 originally was defective and they were aware of it and sold it anyway.
I can keep going on and on and so can most of the people that have been unfortunate enough to have or has owned these sorry products! I have been using 1 or more of their products for over 1 yr. and 6 months now and their has only been 1 constant, junk!!! So what is the point of beating a dead horse, Mr. Chianelli?
