Loose FOD in the motor eh?... that's really annoying because you wouldn't expect it in a premium assembly like a Neu.Once the motor kicked, it all happened too quick! It was literally like a rifle shot, barrel rolling like crazy, I couldn't react quick enough to fly out of it
We will be emailing a not happy jan to Neu Motors...

Its weakness is that its a 3 part balsa wing. With prices the way they are these days you can get a full one piece FG/Carbon glider for about the same price. That's the whole reason I went the Alex Mini over another Siren. That said, I CAN say for sure that you can get a cheap 35/48 outrunner into a Siren and it will perform!!!!
We got our gliders from here:
