Well after reading nothing but good things about this plane I finally bit the bullet and ordered one. I was a little on the fence as I do have some flying experience and wondered if I might out grow and get bored with this plane fairly quickly! I flew a sailplane years ago and recently have been playiing with some 2 channel micro aircraft and also have been playing with a simulator here and there. Anyways this plane is a lot of fun and my kids really like the aerial drop module a lot!
My maiden flight I took off on the grass of the soccer field that I was at, no problems getting the plane into the air in a short amount of time. It flew very nice and was faster than I thought it would be. It really is responsive and flys very nicely. I did a couple of loops a high stall to a bit of a nose dive and it pulled out very nicely. I was a bit nervous about landing her as I usually am with any plane but she came in very nicely and there was no issues except on grass it does want to nose forward once it stops, but not an issue as the motor wasn't running and the speed was very slow at that point.
Unfortunatley the car charger it came with didn't work correctly so I need to send that back and my only other complaint is that I wish that they made the transmitter throttle side like a traditional transmitter with another stick instead of the slide switch. Of course brushless motor, esc, and lipo would have been nice in this kit, but it does have more power than I thought and am anxious to try out an 8 cell pack with it.
Overall I'm very pleased with the plane and it looks really scale up in the sky as well. I really should have gotten one of these planes sooner!
