Strengths: Good quality model. Mine is powered by Super Tigre G20 so ample power.

Weaknesses: My secondhand model had a fracture in front of the wind screen. Subsequently seperated when I "landed" it in a tree following a dead stick!

Overall: An enjoyable model ... but watch out for trees.

Strengths: Quick and easy build, hinges pre-fitted and pinned, plug in wings, quality fittings. Flies very well on those windy days which I keep it for.

Weaknesses: Lands fairly quickly as its a bit heavy (this is why it flies so solid in the wind)

Overall: Quality product, as I have been flying mine for over 2 years with no repairs required
