Good for $20

I bought this for $20 when on sale, For that price its great for $60 List price I would be unhappy. Its strong and has not broken yet nicely made with thick foam. For $60 I would expect the landing gear wire to be usable and not distort when landing and decent carbon stiffening along the length of the fuselage, it is very flexible.

Weight 500g model. But the fuselage is very flexible. The air is strongly bend the wings. The elevator broke in the air after 10-15 flights. Much better than the HUMMER, REACTOR, but need for 3D rear CG. To fly 3D well need to enhance Carbon, replace loop.

I bought this with it's sister the Shining and the both have the same problems. Great flying beginner 3D plane, and works as a slow acrobatic trainer at low throws. The design of the ESC and battery openings makes the nose rip off with a prop strike, which is unavoidable due to the laughingly pathetic landing gear wire. I suggest using some real music wire and bending a replacement before installation, and some carbon fiber rods in the nose through to under the wing. Other than those problems a nice plane. Needs 200W motor at least to make it perform.
