First flight and wow ! You forget after flying so many foamies how good traditional balsa/ply RC aeroplanes can be. OMP Hobby are experts are designing and creating ARF/PNP kits that fly as good as they look. Quick assembly of this Plug and Play (PNP) version of the Super Decathlon. 10-15 minutes and it was ready to drop in my receiver and setup on my Radiomaster TX16S.

A 3S2500 lipo flight battery under the velcro strap and I took off...within seconds I could tell how well it would fly. It cruises around on just over 1/3rd throttle and this is because it is sooo light. Immediate confidence to execute some basic aerobatics and low inverted passes. Looking forward to more flights.
