It flys smoothly , easy to deck landing on carriers , I think it maybe a little to docile and there is a lot of chat about the bigger artificial horizon directional gyro (ABBAJABBA)not working properly ... after having one scoot pass many times in front of me at airshows and watching my old footage it maybe be a little slow in the fly past mode , best way to describe its fun and course very New Zealand related .

Find it easy to stall .. they say tested by real Skyhawk pilots ? .. maybe Tim should buy the model and put 'Barnsey' his bro in the drivers seat ... cool.gif

That would be the most honest test ... pity about the ejection seat not working ... he could tell us if that is what it felt like rolleyes.gif
