I'm used to glow powered sport and pattern planes for the most part. Since a lot of the guys at my club fly jets, I decided to try something different. With the pusher prop setup, sleek swept wings and long profile, the Flash looks like an R/C lawn dart. Assembly was fairly straight forward and simple, although I would advise anyone to be careful about how much you tighten the screw that hold the sections together. The plastic they screw into is hard and will crack if you wrench down too much (FlexGlue to the rescue). Hand launching by myself was much easier than I expected and much more so than the YouTube videos made out. A gentle toss with about 25-35% throttle made for quite manageable torque-roll correction. I was surprised at how easy it flew at low speeds. I tooled around at about 30-40% throttle for several minutes and it acted very predictably. Be warned, once you get brave enough to pour on the juice, this thing will absolutely disappear in a flash! I'm glad I installed a self-leveling gyro in mine because within 1-2 seconds, I couldn't see anything but a dot. Gyro assisted, I came back by my position full bore and the 120+ mph claim is conservative at best. Unfortunately, due to the cheap, off-brand gyro acting wonky, mine took a suicide dive at launch on my 5th flight. Next one will be getting some LED strips for visibility instead of a gyro. Awesome fun while it lasted. :-(

Great plane very fast. A riot to fly hold on tight

I feel the need ! The need for speed !! This plane is awesome! At full throttle it is a bullet ! If you want to get your adrenaline pumping this is the plane for you .. very stable , it is like an arrow flying through the Air .. I recommend underhand launches with prop and plane away from body , 40 to 50 % throttle let it go like how you would let go of bowling ball with hand swinging towards sky away from prop and other hand on control stick .. the flash just takes off nicely .. I love it !
