Yeah... I got one fly in soon after I got it, but my then inexperience led me to a low altitude tip stall and a broken prop adapter.
Fast forward to 3 - 4 weeks ago at the field... Followed the instructions - powered and righted the model out of the wind on a level surface so the gyro could set to level, put it up and it went crazy left bank... even under full stick to the right, it was a 15 to 20 second fight but it wanted to take a dirt nap what ever.
I like the plane, I like the concept, but until I can find a way to bypass the AS3X system, I am not in a hurry to fix it. I think that I will stick with models that have a little dihedral as their only flying aid from now on. I seem to do quite fine with those.
My opinion... get the little UMX F-U4 Corsair, Polecat or Sbach instead. Just a s light, if not lighter and you don't have to fight electronics to make them fly.

Signature overload. That list just got ridiculous. However, Funcubs are .... fun.
