Product Review (submitted on December 23, 2012):

I can't believe no one has reviewed this yet. This plane should be in the hangar of any RC pilot that's getting into 3D. The plane has an incredibly stable and docile post stall, making it the perfect plane after a foamie trainer. Hovers and harriers are super simple and harrier turns are almost completely free of wing drop tendencies. The plane does most of the spins pretty well, but the energy is a bit lower than the "exreme" models. For someone just getting into 3D, this isn't necessary a bad thing.

Sport flying and pattern aerobatics are equally easy to pull off. Just dial your rates down and do nice flowing lines with ease.

The only issue during the build is assembling the elevator halves. It takes some patience and care, but if you follow the instructions you should be fine. Also, make sure you have a long-stemmed hex driver for installing the landing gear, as the screws go deep in the bowels of the plane.

Overall, this is an amazing value for the price and should be in every beginner to intermediary 3D pilot's hangar.
