Product Review (submitted on July 12, 2015):

After two larger electric gliders, I chose this is as my first "Powered" plane. I wanted a scale plane that I could learn with and grow into and the vintage look was a huge plus for me too.

I flew it on elev / rudder full rates with the ailerons 1/2 rate for my preference. I selected the 30C 2200ma batteries and was 8 min. plus flights. The 30C 2200's required me to remove a part of the floor of the cockpit. It seemed predictable in the air and also easy to see. I often pushed myself with the plane as it will still do more than I can in the air. The results of this was a nasty vertical crash after about 25 flights, but was able to repair it and it flew good as ever for another 25 flights.

The downside in my opinion is the smaller diameter main gear wire. If using the stock gear I recommend leaving the screws at the top / rear of the gear plastic triangles a little loose to allow the plastic to move instead of cracking there. I removed my stock wheels / pants an installed the 70mm foam wheels and soldered a additional 3/32" music wire support to the rear main gear (Traditonal model gear). It would handle the grass fine then.

I flew the plane in more of a "Scale" way or what felt like it to me... but it will do more if you're into that.
A great all around, capable sport plane with vintage looks at a decent price.
