This plane is almost identical to the Hyperion sniper II but about 1/2 the price! construction wise, it's about the same but actually I like the hummer LG system better! my sniper LG gave away and broke on a hard landing, Hummer LG still holding so far. I think the color on the EPP is brighter to! But BEWARE of cheaper price on this kit from others than Valuehobby because I have heard on the forums they don't come with the lazer cut wood inserts for servos & aileron horns which make for a much stronger plane than just buring servos in the foam( like the sniper) I powered mine with a Turnigy Park 450 1200kv 30a esc 10x4.7 SF prop & a Gforce 3s 1300mah 40c Lipo and it's balanced perfect! for someone learning to fly 3D, you can't go wrong with this one! Great job Valuehobby & Red Eagle Model!
