| Building | Nice to build. Very dense foam, and the plane looks good. Few imperfections in the parts, but nothing major. |
| Take-off | Very hard. Mine crashed so many times on take-off, using the folding propeller. The one time I used the non folding propeller, it took off ok, but then, on landing, the propeller touched the ground and broke. Chances are that the shaft could be hurt then. |
| Flight behavior | Not enough data yet. So far, so bad with the standard setup |
| Landing | Difficult as strong tip stall behavior. Needs speed to fly, there is no landing gear and the foam is fragile. Bad equation... Foam, even dense, will break easily on landings |
| Crash Results | It is a very heavy plane, so when it crashes, it hurts and the foam breaks apart. Nose broke several times, ailerons too |
| Repairing | Foam. But I repaired this plane, too many times... |
| Other comments | Ezone feedbacks recommends to change several parts, and then it would become a very nice plane to fly ? I don't know yet but browse the Ezone about this. |
