I spent quite a while building it and then painting it which was fun. Have flown it a couple times now and it flies great, easy to take off from the water and land even though I’m not a great pilot. The only thing that caught me was at the start one motor was producing more power than the other one but after a quick calibration it was fixed. I would highly suggest this plane to anyone.

This is my favorite FT build - I'm on my third version. It flies amazingly well - as both a cruiser and an acrobat. The differential thrust is a game changer. I modify mine to beef up the nose section. I've upgraded the motors and run a 4S battery, which fits into a tight 5 sided slot in the battery compartment. I waterproof it as much as I can, but flying off the water is hard on the foamboard, esp. the elevator. But it flies equally well off grass, of course. I highly recommend this airplane.

This was my first successfully flying aircraft. I also built the simple cub but crashed seconds after takeoff. I put this plane together, and after some time on the simulator, I was able to fly and land this plane several times without issue. Great plane, very fun. I also have an aeroscout but I feel like this seems to fly better...maybe cause it's bigger? Anyway I love this kit and I'm probably going to get a second one soon!!

Thank you Flite Test for making this hobby low cost and approachable for all of us!!
