Ok after flying 4 battery packs through the plane I have some pros and cons. The plane with wheels on needs pavement to take off and land, a perfect grass field will make this plane flip over when taxiing. Lake flying is great! a bit hard to steer on taxi if windy, tends to windmill and ignore rudder control. I flew the 2200 mah battery got about 8 mins before seeing voltage drop below safe levels. I did put my 3200 mah 20 c batteries from my apprentice in the plane. Set them back more and get a good cg, but a much longer run time is noted. The plane screams when it's airborne. Very sweet sounding and handles well. Start with low rates on ailerons and maybe even elevator. I Put the eflite light kit in the plane $24 for 4 lights and 2 extenders and the voltage connector. Looks cool at night but not visible in daylight. Cut canopy open on bottom and put Fpv camera in seat next to the pilot. Haven't tried Fpv yet, but looks promising. Easy to land on water just don't slam it down.
