mine served me very well in IMAC this year. Had a little trouble getting it to snap the way I liked and for me that required fliping a switch to put it in a snap mode durring sequences. Most people like the h9 cap and I have one of those also and it only made it out of the trailer once when my engine was acting up on the gp580 at one contest. I only hope my new kit tracks as well as this plane becuase it does very well. Mine didn't harrier that well but im sure it was a cg issue. It torque rolled easier than any other plane I have owned. Like stated above its a great deal. I got mine for 600 out the door and you dont need anything else as far as hardware, spinner or even a pilot figure. I did buy a carbon wing tube, foam pilot, and had tnt make me some custom gear 3/16" instead of 1/4" and that all shaved a descent amount of weight. That is not mandatory for the plane to fly well though. Even with buying those things mine was still less expensive than most third scale planes.
