Glad to see a flight video.I still haven't maiden mine yet.Waiting for a nice calm day.Very nice plane overall though.I have the 40 version and it is my favorite....for now!

Friends of mine have had the smaller .40 version and have noted some structural weakness in the empannage. Hopefully GP has addressed this in the bigger model. The vertical stabilizer looks huge, it should knife edge well.

Just built with an ASP 1.20 4 stroke and maidened couple weeks of ago, very easy flying plane and build, all the vertical you would want. Was surprised I could get the plane to flat-spin (on purpose), going to be one of my favorites at the field, also a nice size, flew great on windy day.

This thing is built like a tank flys great I wish they would change the tail make it a glue in better align the elevator push rods to take out the bend needed in the elv push rods. Because I fly a lot inverted an because of the bend in the push rods it has some give in it and when your flying around upside down you can feel the give in the rods because of the bend. I removed the cheap two screw push rod horns and replaced that with a 2.5 mm screw washer and a screw on single hole nylon horn that screw onto the 2.5 mm bolt and then hooked a gold metal clevis to it. I used the same hole they drilled to put the nylon horns on. Used the hole closest the fuselage that allowed me to use straight push rods thus making the elevator more responsive
