I love flying this glider when I go out to the flying field. Its easy to fly and I think it’s soothing and calming. When I fly fast airplanes I have to really pay attention to every little thing, but when I fly this I get to just fly. And since it’s a glider I get to fly for a long time. I power it up to get it high in the air and then just let it do what it was born to do, Glide. This is also the plane I learned to fly on. I still have it and fly it all the time.

After reviewing a lot of foamies out there i decieded to get a 2 metor to fill in between my arf e bot and my art hobby 1.5 Zuni. I will not order from chinese companys but when an american co has a good product from them i would consider buying from them as i can trust if somthing goes wrong. Got the kit as i had spare parts, asembled it and went flying, It is light and does not like high winds but ballest works good to penetrate. Flew it for a while and made a bad landing and broke of the nose, ca fixed that and i reinforced it with carbon fiber rods and tape. Dialed in duel rates and hooked the rudder in with a y to put the ailerons and rudder on the same channel." Big differance" i just like to thermal and i was amised at how good it does.With no wind and light thermals it does extreemley well and i have wound up flying it most of the time.

Just finished putting the fifth flight on this plane today. Every one was fun, including the first, and the soft, gentle landings are really nice. It launches with plenty of power for the climb out. You're at altitude in less than 10-15 seconds, which is really surprising for such a big plane. Power to weight is very very good. (That's two verys). I have the kit version. Wings were a piece of cake. I left the "Y" connector loose in the wing well and used a twist tie to prevent the end from falling into the opening. I did notice that after several assemblies and knockdowns that the friction fit wing is not as tight as it was originally. I guess the rolls and tight turns are a no-no, but nothing bad has happened yet. The rudder is very effective, and ailerons are really optional! I almost prefer rudder to turn this plane and I find all the surfaces are very responsive in all situations. The first three flights were in a 5-8 mph breeze, and the little bit of wind really helped. Flat calm today and the motor was working harder with shorter flight times. I use an 1800 20C battery and am getting an honest 9-10 minutes of power flying with an 11.2 readout at the end of the flight. Not full power all the time, about 1/2. Full power only on the takeoffs and some fooling around up there to stay awake. Motor and prop setup is good. Cooling air ducts in and out help the motor. The ESC got hot today here in Florida, and I'm going to go to a 40AMP instead of the 30 I had in there. No problems, but I want to keep it that way. What don't I like? Decals are a little cheesy. Canopy attachment is not good. I installed two short dowels vertically in the foam front and rear, drilled them out for a #2 half inch screw, and now have a very positive attachment that takes 15 seconds to swap batteries. I also spot glued the tail surfaces on along with the sticky tape provided for security. Glue tends to come loose here in the sunshine state especially in summer. In summary, can't beat this one for $120, motor and folding prop included! Thanks Hobby People. And thanks Phase 3. I have three of your planes, and every one is a winner. (Posted on 8/13/11)

I purchased the kit version expecting to have some instruction as to the install of the servos, size, power etc, the manual that comes with the plane is the one for the version that has everything installed so there is no mention of any of the finer points of doing the kit version at all. I have had pretty good luck so far doing it on my own, but would not recommend this to anyone that has no previous building experience. If you are going to sell a kit, it needs to have a manual for a KIT!
I think the plane will actually be a nice one, but the low star rating is for falling down badly on the manual for this kit version, so if you are new to RC, either buy the bind and fly or the complete, do not buy this kit.
I wish this plane was offered as a receiver ready version as I do not use Airtronics and would have had to buy the the receiver version and throw the receiver away, some companies, such as Spectrum, offer lots of bind and fly versions also that do someone no good if they fly a different transmitter.
