Woah!!! BEWARE...This thing is a rocket and can be incredibly fast!

I ran it on a TP1320 and I reckon it was clocking 120+Kmh. Unfortunately an aileron let go and my beautiful rocket became a drill bit...into the ground...totalled!...174.99 plus shipping, gone...sigh.

Buy it!
Reinforce the control surfaces!
And have a blast!!!

I'll buy another. Might wait till the price drops a little ;)
