- Best so far... Love this one. Review by GaryB

So far I've tried the 48inch MXS, 48inch SBACH, the 39inch Hummer and now the 39Inch SBach.Value Overall Quality
For the money and quality of flight, this is a close second to the MXS.
Flight is better and more 3D then the Hummer (listed as 3d and SBach isn't - weird).
I liked the Hummer and noticed the SBach is almost the same. Wanted a second Hummer so tried the SBach. Now SBach is my new favorite. Better flight and more 3D - but a little harder to see.
The Build: I replaced the wheels with a little taller and wider ones from my local hobby store.
Bought the force 2206-1500kv motor, Hobbywing SkyWalker 40A ESC, longer servo wires for the two rear servos (TWP-SV-5057) and GForce 30C 1300mAh (RFI-LP-1871) batteries.
Glued with (no super-glue) flexible EPP Foam-Cure glue (leave to dry 24 hours for full strength)
Glued motor mounts, landing wheels and tail dragger with with Epoxy.
Added 2 ounces of sinker weights to the nose to balance it out. Center of balance is about 4.5 inches back from the leading edge of the wing (works for me).
Found the rear dragg wire and motor mounts are a great upgrade to the Hummers.
The motor/battery combo has lots of power to go straight up or pull you out of those "oops" conditions.
Happy, happy, happy!

This is def not a 3D Plane. It will hover and knife edge. Harriers you get a lot of wing rock. This is a fun sport plane and really does go fast with the recommended setup for sure! It is durable to some degree minus the engine mount and landing gear. I have had fun flying it and will fly it when I get bored or it is too windy for my 3D plane.

this is my first time building airplane and my first fly also. it so easy to fly and it is can take a lot of crash from me and it still fly like new.Quality Value Overall
I would recommend this to any one wanting a quality, low cost, tough airplane to practice their 3D moves.
" the instruction manual need to get bigger pictures or in color so it can be easier to read"
I am 120% satisfied with this purchase. i would buy it again if my is totally crash. (Posted on 4/23/2014) - Great first 3D EPP Review by Charles

I bought this plane after a number of my flying friends had bought EPP 3D planes. I was really blown away by the quality of this model for the price. It took me two evenings to put together using Beacon Foam-Tac. The plane flies great and the recommended power setup is fantastic although I don't use the recommended propeller and instead use an 11x4.5 which works really well. I would recommend this to any one wanting a quality, low cost, tough airplane to practice their 3D moves. I am very satisfied with this purchase. (Posted on 4/1/2014)Value Overall Quality
