It was some morph of parts, I dont know if it was a wild wing or a boomer or what... but it was AWESOME. Just floated there in 10mph wind awaiting my command. Upside down, inside out, loops, anything. Light as a feather. $20 kit (totally bashed) $10 24g Hextronic 1300kv outrunner $10 9g 12A TowerPro ESC $4 5g servos WOW! I own a lightFlite bug and it is a flying brick compared to this thing. The bug is also expensive, ugly, and a long build. The bug was my favorite plane up until today. I also now believe (even though Dave already tried to convince me last week) that the UH electronics are the hot ticket. Usually I am an elitist about gear but the value in this stuff from United Hobbies is just unbeatable. A must for any flier... Even makes the easystar suck. (and that is a bold statement for me) Performance, looks, price, overall value -Patrick Today I flew one of these bad boys. . .

Once these things get in the air it's going to be blam blam blam all the time. They resonate a satisfying slap when they hit, too!
