It cuts through the wind very well, it snaps great IMO, and it holds a line quite nicely. Over all, I really liked it, but I am a 'wood' kinda' guy. If you like composits, you won't be dissappointed.
Just my 2 cents.

I have never flown one OK....
... but I heard from a reliable source... the the Knife Edge coupling is peculiar.... in shallow KE, it pushes, but in deep KE, it pulls.... (Or something like that)

One thing I have noticed... all of the "Legends of IMAC/Freestyle" have had one.... and gotten rid of it....
I don't know the reasons, but that is what I have observed...

IMHO, if yoiu have a 170'ish motor... the Comp-Arf SX is hard to beat!!! I have 500 flights on 3 different SX's myself.... it always seems to be the plane I go back to.

The Krill planes aren't a "Quick Build" either... prolly 50 hours plus.

Beautiful planes...

I will tell ya what I have one and it is awesome. 3d monster. Unfortunatily the wife says one airplane has to go. And I have told her that I have been trying to sell it but let's be honest here ummm well it was flown today. But she has been on my butt about it. So I will make ya a deal here. I will sell it turn key with new batts, smart fly power system, servos, etc etc. All new and servos sent in this summer for a check up for 3900 motor and all. Or the plane, motor, and servos for 3500. The thing is awesome. But I have just too many and. It is starting to be a issue in a big way with the wife and that is honestly the only reason why I am selling it. I bought it from tim davie for 4 and had to put the new batt's and stuff in it so the price is right I would think.

I just got a Kat Anas as we call them here in the deep south. It is by far the best all around plane that I have flown so far. It is so straight in the air and so precisie on snaps it is hard to beat. I have a 3w-157 in mine and it is ballistic on uplines. Although everyone thinks this plane is at its best doing sequence flying it will 3D very well also.
