Will Hobbys fly good. You will enjoy this plane as long as you don't expect to much from it. A pointer that I will give you is reinforce the motor box. The ones from the factory are quite weak. Unless they have changed in the last year. Also they don't have very good customer service. I have tried to contact them a few times to no avail.

I had this same plane and first flight was REAL tail heavy. I went by the manual which was not correct. I ended up putting the batteries in the cowl with the SPE 40cc and the throttle servo. This plane only lasted two flights for me due to the aileron fluttering. Turns out the block where the control horn mounted ripped out. Good luck.
