Awesome plane. Assembly may be a little overwhelming for a beginner, so this would make a better 2nd or 3rd plane for your collection. This thing handles amazingly and has plenty of power on 6s. I'm very happy with my purchase.

Overall it is a nice looking plane. I had to replace the tires on the main landing gear that do not hold air at all. I also replaced the tail wheel assembly with a scratch built one that actually turns with repeatability.The price point is great but I would say that Skynetic really needs to address those two issues with the gear but again it is a great looking and flying plane once you fix the above issues.

Took ages to build. Had to shave some plastic off the rudder so it would move more, slat design is weak, tyres lose air after 10 mins and flat after 30 mins, ESC site exactly where the battery is ment to go, landing gear assembly looks like it would work well but the bit dismantle themselves after some vibration. The brass collar for securing the ball link comes undone so the brass ball vibrates in the metal socket. This happens on both top and bottom mounts. The left wheel axle is bent down creating a postive chamber on the wheel. The right axle is straight which results in a straight slightly negative chamber which is what you want. So the plane looks slightly off balance. Will run like a drunk down the run way. Terrible cheap design. Oje of the props has an offcentre drilled out hole resulting in a prop that is impossible to balance. Apart from that it looks great but I wish I'd just spent extra and got a higher quality product.

Après plusieurs mois après les modifications et retour au terrain après mon opération, voici mes impressions.Très bon avion , très sain, vraiment un bon avion de brousse STOL , train parfaitement fonctionnel même sur les cailloux.Il vole avec une batterie 6s 3500 mAh pour 6 minutes. Je n’ai pas installé le mode Crow à cause des volets à fentes mais ce n’est pas grave il fait très bien les ascenseurs , les vrilles à plat et fait la voltige de base . Il faut vraiment bien le centrer pour qu’il révèle tout son potentiel, il doit être parfaitement à l’horizontale et ne pas pencher sur l’avant.Très grande présence en vol surtout avec le kit Unilight.Très content de mon achat. Juste une suggestion il avait été en 2 mètres d’envergure ,ce serait un fantastique avion.

Suite aux modifications effectuées et après mon hospitalisation j’ai pu effectuées plusieurs vols sur le bison.Tout d’abord c’est un avion très sain pas vicieux, le train d’atterissage est très robuste. Il vole parfaitement avec un ou deux crans de volet décolle et se pose très court . Par contre il faut vraiment le centrer limite arrière , il doit être vraiment à l’horizontale et ne pas pencher sur l’avant sinon il allonge beaucoup à l’atterrissage . Petite astuce vue sur YouTube , pour avoir le bon CG il faut mettre les a l’arrière du bossage des commandes de lattes. Vraiment un très bon avion.

overall, I love this plane. I have not had a chance to fly it yet, due to many small issues that I am constantly finding and fixing. One servo on each wing( One Aileron and one Flap) worked for about 10 Min before needing replaced. The tires are glued properly but do not hold air thanks to the valve stem, had to buy vac line plugs to keep the air in. Other than those issues i have been very happy with the quality of the plane in general and the fact that the build was straightforward. Cant wait to fly it with my a3 super Gyro.
