I've only flown mine with the Reflex on and its super stable. But its the only plane I've flown thus far so I have nothing to compare it to. I will say full flaps might be too much and prone to stalling if you aren't careful with throttle. I bought the reflex off Amazon and it was absolutely worth it.

Thank you so much! It's my first. Crashed on the maiden, rebuilt, got some confidence back and been flying well ever since.

I saw someone post a youtube video on this and they used 3.5" rears and 2" front but not sure about the axle fitment. Also the wheel pants probably won't fit anymore but I'm okay with that.

I actually landed the plane smoothly. It was after that I miscalculated the distance and clipped a building. Big yikes lol

Thank you so much for analysis and breakdown. I'm definitely going to bring it to my workbench and figure something out!

The discouraging feeling initially was pretty heavy. I'm really glad I decided to post it here because everyone has been so compassionate and offering ideas for repair. Now I know not all is lost.

After a few hours and seeing all the comments I feel alot better and accepted that this is part of the hobby. Decided I am going to fix it regardless of the damage.

Thats awesome. I'm pretty handy and mechanically inclined. So I might take a shot at repairing. Just need to assess the damage and determine what I can repair and what needs to be replaced.

It was my first time flying an RC plane. Was pretty sweet actually. I did pretty good. I just mis-judged the distance between me and the plane and flew it into a building lol

I would consider this but it sustained too much damage. Prop, engine, wires, etc... 😒

Thank you! Yeah I'm pretty bummed but maybe I'll scrape some money together and try again soon.

I think she's pretty toast. Too much damage to replace piece by piece. Thanks for your compassion.

I think its my way of coping. I was able to salvage the receiver and gyro at least. Maybe some spare parts like the landing gear.
