Great flying plane. No bad tendencies and slows down well. Don't worry about the 12 bladed fan. The stock has plenty of that "whooosh!" sound you're looking for. Trust me. I've had people come and ask me about mine. It's easily my favorite plane. Now I just need to get better at landing her.
*Oh, heavily second the re-gluing of the gear. I had a bounce landing that was a little hard and didn't realize it knocked a gear loose. It shook loose during the taking off roll out, and once airborne the wind pulled on the gear until it was sticking out by several inches. I made the wrong choice to land gear down, instead of belly landing in the grass and sacrificing one gear. I paid for it when a crosswind gusted during my flair and flipped the plane clear over and her speed was too slow to recover. Impact broke the rudder and gear mounts. I ordered new parts today to make repairs.
**Has anyone had intermittent issues with their nose gear not coming down? I haven't been able to replicate the problem but I've noticed the gear didn't come down once or twice. Took another toggling of the gear switch to get it down. It was happening before the hard landing, so not sure what the cause is.
