Product Review (submitted on March 20, 2016):

I'm so pleased with this airplane, that this is now my second Acrocub build. This plane flies extremely well for high-wing, straight flying and 3D aerobatic flight. Forget about getting bored flying around and around. This Beaver is highly aerobatic, but has good manners. It is based on another brand of DHC-2 Beaver, also made of epp foam. There are differences in construction, but this and the other brand looks and flies nearly identical. With the Acrocub, you're paying $49.00 less than the name brand. My first Acrocub flies with a 3s 460mAh lipo, which balances the plane perfectly, because of the lipo's heavier weight. The motor should be around 26 to 29 grams. The center of gravity is actually 2.178" behind the leading edge of the wing, and not what the manual states. If you go with the c.g. from the manual, it'll fly well, but 3D flying won't be as easy. The paint scheme is excellent, and so much better than the eagle paint scheme of the competitor's. It's a blast to fly, and if you're tired of circle flying with Cubs and Beavers, the Acrocub will get you into 3D and aerobatics at an affordable price.
