Bought this aircraft to teach teenagers to fly (I work at a school). It flew beautifully after minimal setup, quite aerobatic (almost hovers with a big prop) and flies smoothly like it is on rails. As kids do though, they crashed the plane many times (completely destroyed it at least 5 times so far). After many, many crashes, daily abuse and mistreatment, this plane has never faltered. The fuselage is mostly glue now - the front half has been patched with coreflute, yet it still flies like it is on rails. We replaced the wing once after it was flown into a gum tree at full throttle (the wing broke into three pieces and the ailerons were torn off - couldn't get the balance quite right again). Another time it was dropped from 300 feet onto concrete and smashed into about eight pieces, we glued it back together and had it flying perfectly again the next day!
I can't praise this plane enough, we have had ours for 8 months and it is literally flown every weekday by kids who treat it like garbage and it has never disappointed. Our student land it really hard on grass and concrete (like an elephant sitting on a cane chair) and it has never broken from this. A beautifully flying, very tough, easy to repair aircraft that will satisfy beginners and intermediate pilots. A
