| Comment | It flies surprisingly well for the extremely low price you can build
it up. I would suggest it as a good introductory 3D plane, you can have
it flying completely equiped for no more than 50€ - depending on quality
of materials you use, but this plane does not deserve high quality
components in my opinion. I just spend the money in the receiver, but
just because I do like synthetized too much... Only problem I saw in its first flies is a big tendency to flex wings (both main and tail) even though I added carbon and fiber rods. Still it survives all the acrobatic figures (including moderate wind) and performs surprisingly well. Motor is outstanding for its price (15€) and have plenty of power for this plane, including not only 3D but unlimited vertical. |
