OK, this is a great plane. It flies well and it is very aggressive, lots of power and lots of aerobatic potential. Apparently you should be able to do aerial battles with some X-port module. IIt has no bad habits once it is trimmed. HOWEVER, the plane has a fatal flaw--just like the Phantom-- and that is the very very very very very poor construction of the boom.The thing is so brittle it will not take a hard landing, let along a crash. If Hobbyzone descides to modify the boom, which should be extremely easy to do, this plane will be the best thing in the market for intermediate flyers, well maybe not, but still great. As it is now, it is essentially useless because it cannot do what a fast and aggressive plane should do: withstand some impact and air strain.Given the fact that the boom is bonded to the pod and it cannot be extracted without deamging that part of the fuse, one would think that HZ is just trying to force us to buy the fuse over and over again.
