Pros
Very good looking aircraft in paint scheme and details
Weighs only 62 grams with battery installed. Does NOT require registration or RID in most countries.
Ready to fly plane with included transmitter.
True four channel airplane with throttle, elevator, rudder, and aileron control.
Constructed of flexible and crash resistant EPP foam.
Plenty of power from its 1020 brushed motor.
Comes with two 2 bladed and two 3 bladed propellers. Quick disconnect propeller saver automatically disconnects the propeller in a crash to prevent propeller or motor damage. Propeller can be quickly reattached after the crash to continue flying.
Three selectable flight modes. Beginner mode includes full 6 axis stabilization (3 axis gyro and 3 axis accelerometer). Also includes angle restrictions that prevent the aircraft rolling or pitching over. Intermediate "Midd" mode also includes 6 axis stabilization, but turns off pitch angle restrictions to allow aerobatic loop stunts. Expert mode turns off all stabilization for fully aerobatic manual flying.
Controller also includes a stunt button that allows the airplane to automatically conduct loops and aileron rolls.
NEW Auto Takeoff feature enables the aircraft to automatically climb to a safe altitude, and then circle until the pilot is comfortable and ready to take control of the plane with the pitch/roll stick.
One key return feature will automatically fly the plane in the opposite direction that it was pointed at takeoff.
Telemetry warnings of Low Battery and Weak Signal
Very efficient flier. It's 3.7V 400mah battery (size 952030) provides over 15 minutes of flight time.
Can be flown with multi-protocol transmitters using V761 protocol.

Cons
Low voltage telemetry warning alarmed late in the flight, right at low voltage cutoff.
