I got this as a freebie from HK. Apart from the brushed motor mount, the rest of the plane is modern enough to be a good trainer. When it finally arrived (took the long way to Aus apparently), my wife immediately claimed it as her own. That being the case, I made her build it (aside from the motor mount). I donated a 2210 1400kv to the cause, paired with an 8x6 S/F prop. I modified the battery tray too, so it can fit a 1600 3s pushed into the nose. This *just* balances the plane. Getting the rudder right was a little tricky, as the rod is only just long enough.
All up, I think if I bought this one I'd be pretty happy (hey, it's only $16 + postage). It has been a little trickier to trim out than I anticipated, but it'll be a good first plane for the other half. My eldest has it in his sights too...
