Those things are amazing. Few years ago I figured I'd try (again) to learn to fly RC planes and bought one myself. Not only did I learn to fly, but it survived and has enough hours on it to get it's pilots license and still works great.
@FPVandotherprojects This one has been through a lot. My first 2 flights I had the rudder reversed resulting in nice cartwheels. I landed it in a tree, hit a lightning arrester wire, and replaced the cowl 3 times at least. Another pilot who shall remain nameless hit the trunk of a tree at full throttle (new wing), nosed in at full throttle, and had the plane get out of range over the lake resulting in a hands-off perfect float landing on the other side of the bay.
