I had one, loved its performance on a Mega 22/20/3E & 8 cells but got tired of fixing the wing mount nuts time after time. Gave it to a pal who modified the whole wing mount area ( as he is using LiPos he has the space).It now goes better than ever but still lands at approx Mach 1 if no headwind, give it plenty of space and a smooth area to get it down.
If you want details of his mods let me know and I'll get his Email.

David,
Thanks for the reply... If you could get his email that be great. I'm interested in what he done to the plane. What type of speeds can the Sprinter handle?? I've got a new AXI 2826/8 that needs a good home.. I've got a 14x8,13x13,13x11 prop and a 3s2p 4200 but not sure on which prop will be best or what ESC to go with.
