Strengths: Price. Quick to assemble. Easily transportable in one piece. Great flyer. Quick and agile.

Weaknesses: One the first flight it went vertical on full throttle. I ended up putting 3 washers behind the top motor mounting screws to build in some down thrust. I had read where David had done this in his review article but had decided to try it first. I wish i hadn't. Still nothing got broken. The wing mounting method leads you to want to leave it in one piece rather than keep taking the wings off. Battery stowage is snug and makes battery removal difficult. Make sure you read the CG amendment on the Parkzone web site.

Overall: I love it.

Strengths: Build time. Looks good. Fly's beautifully. Size. Visibility.

Weaknesses: Haven't found any yet.

Overall: If you are looking for a relatively cheap good looking model to chuck in the back of your car and have some proper fun with, then this is it. An absolute must.

Strengths: Will go vertical into a cornfield that has been harvested from 50 ft and come out with a damaged cowl only

Weaknesses: None that I can find

Overall: Bought second hand in perfect condition and flyes exactly as reviewed by the mag Vertical flight out of sight very fast on full power and a pussycat on low. A real winner
