Just got back from my first flight. Pretty successful. I had a couple hard crashes, but only a bit of damage to the wing. Nothing that a bit of epoxy won't fix.

Out of the box, the plane is set up to climb pretty aggressively. Its really just a powered glider. Power on, it climbs, power off, you sail. I was pleased that I could grasp the dynamics of it. I have never flow one before. Adjusting the trim required some thought, but you have plenty of time with this model. Just gain a ton of altitude, and you can literally take you hands off the controls and it will just drift on its own.

Success!
