I really like this plane as it looks really good and it is really durable, I also like the power of the motor and the quality of the servos and hinges, the only problem I have had with it is that the motor has broken off of its mounting and wrecking the wires attached to it, I will have to purchase a replacement with a stronger mount but other than that I think it flies well as being a really good durable foam

I bought the Rarebear with the recommended 180mah 2S battery and no matter where I placed the battery inside the airframe it would not give me a sensible c of g. The plane was always tail heavy and was horrible in the air. After installing a 370mah 2s in the nose I have managed to get the plane balanced and now have it flying very well. For the its small size it flys very fast and is extremely manoeuvrable in the roll axis especially.
I have replaced the motor with a NTM 1312 after the stock motor managed to develop a wobble after a rough landing, the NTM seems alot smoother but power seems fairlysimilar.

Quality is ok for $30 cheap price, I got issues with the elevator servo which is not running smooth. First flight was a disaster as adjusted too much on elevator caused nose down and crashed, broke the tail horizontal wing. After some quick fixed and third flight trim everything went extremely smooth. It can fly really slow as a low wing plane and very stable with light breeze of wind. I was amaze for such micro size plane with such stable flying characteristic, rolls, fast and slow loop is easy. However can feels that 2 cell battery & stock motor is not powerful enough otherwise it could flies even better.

Great value plane, however i only flew it 3 times and the metal part of the motor mounting shattered with a very soft touch of the prop on the ground. Flies very well after some decent trimming.

No they aren't well behaved out of the box.I have sorted mine out. The plane needs a lot of weight up front also the stock aileron throws are set to max, reduce them to minimum. That is still extremely agile. I can fit a 300Mah nanotech in there which helps C o G. Stock motor burnt out straight up, it can't handle full throttle for more than 20 second bursts. I replaced it with a T1811-2900 kv motor with a little modifying. I reduced the prop to a 4530 GWS [ to keep amps down].
Now it is a missile with blistering roll rate and about 4-5 mins of fun

Plane arrived in one piece. adjusted CG and checked for straight control surfaces. Then the hand launch. I think that the engine was mounted crooked as the plane veered hard to the right and was uncontrollable through several launches, the last of which bent the prop shaft. So, not happy with the quality control on this beast.
