Just flew mine. Running 2 NTM Prop Drive Series 35-42A 1250Kv with master airscrew 9x7 3 blade props 2 suppo 60a esc's and 2 3s and ZIPPY Compact 2700mAh 3S 35C Lipo Packs. Huge power at 42amps.

Taxied well even though there is very little weight at the nose.

Took off and climbed out fast. CG was pretty much spot on..Several circuits later I tried a slower more scale turn at approximately 50 meters.

Just as I started to turn ,it tip stalled and went into a spiral dive. Let go of the sticks to correct then gave a little elevator. Again it went into a violent spin. Tried again letting it straighten out and then a little elevator. Same result. After that I just watched it spear into the ground.

Everything destroyed from the main wing forward.

So if you have one of these, fly it fast.

I have just completed building the plane and it is indeed very nice. High quality kit and extremely nice finish. It is not an easy plane to build so I recommend beginners to start with somnething a lot easier. I have downloaded the manual in the file section here so you can see for yourself. And the manual is good.

I used the recommended motors NTM propdrive 3542/1250KV but I see it is not any more on the combo list - don't know why. Maybe they are too cheap (ha,ha). I use 3-bladed Master props 9 x 7, one regular the other pusher. I also use 2 x HobbyKing 50A ESC and I plan to use at least a 3000 mAh battery as both motora will draw a lot of current. I will try using either 3 or 4S. I think 4S will be needed since the 9 x 7 prop is a bit smaller than the 10 x 7 recommended for the motors. The max size prop you can mount on this plane is 9". It is a heavy plane - almost 3 kg so you will need a lot of pulling power from the two motors. I haven't flewn the plane yet. Plan to do it this week end and will let you know the outcome
