Well worth the effort as it flies nice and slow. Flew it this morning at my friend's backyard field, which is large enough for light parkflyers. After getting it trimmed out, it could easily fly in a decent sized gym. At its light weight, the plane can nose over into the grass without damaging the landing gear. Best to be a bit conservative on a first flight, versus dropping a wing at a few feet high. After a second flight, I discovered that it can slow to a crawl without dropping a wing.
