Have been putting this plane to the test over the past few months and it is definitely some of the most fun I've had with a plane out of my 10+ years of flying. Its set up with the G-force E400 motor, 1300 mah battery and emax servos. A bit too tail heavy with this setup but added some weight to the front and all is good. It is a very smooth and agile flier. Plenty of power at hand, it can pull straight up out of a hover.
The build process was excellent. Took a couple of nights to put it together, but could really be built in a night if youre really eager. I have put it through many stressful situations to test its durability and it has held up well. I did snap the landing gear off, but this was due to pilot error and landing in tall grass to fast. The bright side to this is that the gear snapping caused no damage to the frame of the plane (and I actually prefer to fly it without the gear).
The only negative thing I can comment on is that the control horns are a bit weak and the pushrod connectors that come with the kit are junk. However, just take care with control horns and pick up some beefier pushrod connectors and you'll be good to go.
Bottom line: Do not hesitate to buy and put one of these together.
