Product Review (submitted on June 16, 2017):

I stumbled on this plane by accident. It is an easy build but I found the vertical stabilizer to be poorly fabricated with no reinforcement of the framing. I cut the monokote open and reinforced the tail. by adding pieces to tie it together then covered it over again.
I have I own 7 nitro planes but this is the one that I most frequently take to the field. The long wingspan makes it very stable in the air and if you are a new flyer as I am it is as close to stress free flying as you will ever find. I modified mine by installing an Eagletree Guardian flight stabilizer but this is not really needed. I crashed two of these which I attribute to pilot error meaning that I flew it to the outer range of its receiver. I love it enough though, that I am going back to Value Hobby and ordering one more.
I flew mine with an OS 46 engine which is plenty of power for this aircraft. This plane and the Avistar Elite are the two planes I have no regret purchasing. This though is my all time favorite..
