Product Review (submitted on October 13, 2017):
I've been flying and building rc planes since the mid 80, so I do have experience with building and flying. Anyway, I had been eyeing the larger foamies here on VH for quite some time. Several of the guys at the field had a few and really liked them, but I wanted something a little different looking. So I pulled the trigger on this right after my birthday even though I had several rc planes I was working on. Once I opened up the package I couldn't wait to start assembly as I already had all the needed electronics. Like others who have put some of these kits together, the instruction/assembly manual had quite a bit to be desired. Besides that, building was straight forward and pretty much built like other foamies using carbon fiber for extra support. What did surprise was how well the paint on the plane looked, and the colors were very defined and brilliant compared to some of the other foamies I've seen at the field. The only upgrades I did was to put on larger wheels (they were 5 spoke, a tad bigger and looked cool) and I put on a plastic tail skid.

OK, so last Sunday I finally got to try this bird out. First flight I realized I needed to back off on some of my expo and it needed some slight trim. On the second flight, I had it trimmed out and calmed down the expo and it was a BLAST to fly. This is REALLY a fantastic plane for $35, and if and when I trash this one I'll definitely purchase another. I HIGHLY recommend this airplane, however it is NOT for the beginner as it has a fully symmetrical airfoil and would be difficult to learn on.

If you're looking for a good foamie, especially to learn aerobatic and 3D with, this would be a GREAT plane. Hoping the weather is good this weekend...........
