Im sure it flies well, and the price is attractive for this size plane. It seems a little heavy for only having a 110" wing span. For the same money you can the Extreme Flight Yak or Aero-Works 100cc extra using a DA-100 instead and use a lot less equipment to get it in the air. I have not seen anyone fly one of these other than at Joe Nall last year...and AJ could fly a brick and make it look good.

I got one quick trim flight in before dark this afternoon. It seems to fly just fine. I hope to get it back up soon!!

Hi: I've been flying mine for about 3 weeks now, the only thing I changed was the wing tube , I got a Carbon tube from TBM . Used all the hardware that came with the plane. DA-150 30-12 Mez. futaba 9156's all around 2 on the rudder. Do'nt worry about the weight , of the plane it fly's great. Mine is balanced at about the 5.75 mark . Balance worked out just like the book said with 2 5200 li -ion Battery's . The first flight two click's of up elevator trim and it was flying hands off. I got all the thorw on the contol surfaces I could get , Rudder bang's the elevator's the ailerons about 45 degrees, the elevators that or a little less, I'm going to buy some 2 in. SWB arm's for the elev. soon. The only type of flying I like to do is 3D. This little plane is like a mussle car It has alot of Zip. It is built to stay around,the wheel pant's are like I build for my Cardens they wont be flying apart after 3 or 4 flight's. I realy like the landing gear nice airfoiled carbon shaped . For the money this plane is areal good deal. TomBob

My setup: DA-170 w/std mufflers(Jtec), 9156's all the way around, stock hardware except for SWB servo arms, Fromeco Iron Corps Extremes(A123), Smart-Fly Expander and Opt Kill. I have a carbon wing tube but I did not get it cut to size in time. The sun had just set yesterday and I flew it in the twighlight.

I don't recall my CG, but I moved the Li-Ions behind the canopy... Harrier and Blow Over performance was STELLAR after I did that!!!
