After a few flights in good weather conditions and trimming out the whole thing I was able to gain a little confidence and fly low. Rolling harriers, hovering, blenders and pop-tops, she doese it all really well. This plane is absoloutely great to a really fair price. Like allready mentioned, tracking is great and you really can do anything with this plane. I love it!

After a couple of flights I would like to share a few of thoughts.
The overall quality of the plane is great. I got the plane for about 215€ and the first impressions were good with only two things that could be improved. The first is the wing tubing. There is a fair amount of slack with the wings mounted, you can wobble the wings up and down by a few millimeters. The outer tubes are kept in simple GFK and they are very thin. The second thing is the hinges of the control surfaces. They are not the 4mm type which are typical for this size of plane. But overall, let´s be fair. You get what you pay for and in this case it is quite a lot of bang for the buck. The Model is very well built.
I only had the chance to fly with pretty gusty winds but I have to say she flies really good. I had to change the downward angle of the motor though by putting a washer under each of the two lower stand-offs. Now she holds altitude at all speeds without the tendancy of climbing away when the throttle gets ripped back to zero.
This is my setup:
Motor: Turnigy SK3 6354 - 260 kv
Prop: Fiala 20x10 E
ESC: CC Edge lite 100Amp
Bat.: 8S - 2x SLS Xtron 4000mAh 30C
Servo: 5x Rotostar RS-610MGC HV
BEC: Hobbyking YEP 20A HV
I also added a carbon fiber landing gear. This reduces the overall weight with batteries by approx. 100g to 4638g (No wheel fairings)
I think she is a pretty good 3D machine and with a quite low total cost (my setup) for a 1.8m model, definately worth concidering. The mentioned MIX with Rudd/Elev is true, but even my GB Yak 55 1.8m needs this.
Great product that I would definately buy again.

I had time to test fly the slick today and my first imprerssions are great .Tracking is great ,I need no trim at all but I had to make some rudder -elevator and rudder aileron mix ,nothing extreme just a little.
3d flying is great and you can do anything with this plane just like its 1.3m brother.
I use a 6-7s setup with 18x10 prop.
