Product Review (submitted on August 7, 2013):

BUY THIS PLANE. This plane is massive. About a .90 equivelent model. Just the elevator alone is about 15 inches long. I bought this model to fly after I mastered my other one I got for free (previous owner had hard time flying) I fly with a 4S 2200Mah 4S lipo and its all the way back to the spar where It seems to balance out nicely. This one comes with 11 gram and 9 gram high speed servos, I was impressed how quick they were. I'm pretty shure the elevator and rudder has metal gears. Before you fly this model make positive your rates are set to what I have. Using these keeps the stall down significantly. I found this model will stall if too quick of input is given. It will snap roll if you pull up to quick on takeoff, go into a spin if you turn too fast, and tip stall really bad if you go too fast on high rates, I'd reccomend low rates for sport flying which is 50 percent aileron, 30 percent expo, 40 percent elevator, 30 percent expo, 82 percent rudder 30 percent expo. For hovering and extremely high energy moves like waterfalls and hovers, 100 percent aileron on 20 percent expo, 100 percent elevator on -20 expo, and 80 percent rudder on -20 expo as my preference. Make shure you can switch these in flight!!! Even the pros do this... Haha for spare parts such as spinners, cowls, and props, order from www.hobbyking.com. Search "MX2" if they are all out, a 14x8 prop and 2 1/2 inch dubro spinner works fine. If you break your shaft you can search "mx2 replacement shaft" on hobbyking. I've bent mine and broke half of it off, where the aluminum is solid. Just rethreaded a metric bolt on. Ill admit paint is horrible on this model, but packing tape on the wings helps alot, you can barely notice if you use a credit card to smooth it.

Enjoy your model!
