i flew mine for the first time off the budy lead.
My first impressions were as follows
1 - A really nice stable machine, i found it very easy to hover.
2 - Doesnt get covered in fuel, and is easy to clean and maintain
Negatives
I hate the thin canopy design, it is extremely narrow, which is ok and brilliant for fast forward flight, but it takes a lot of getting used to.
I found this held me back for a few tank until i got used to it.
It seems as if a lot of manufacturers are going the same way - very narrow canopies.
It is ok in the hover, but i found once i got the confidence to get it into a curcuit it became very easy to loose orientation,
i think a lot has to do with how it has been painted, if i had more orange and red and not so much black it would help a lot more, something i will take up later on.
But apart from this 1 niggle thisis a great machine, i also would prefer white undercarridge struts, cos when hovering side on against a dark background it is very easy to loose perception...
