It has very similar mannerisms and flight characteristics as the Stinger 90. However, just after one flight, it just simply seems to do it all a little better from what I could tell, and do them at a lower price point with a smaller and lighter airframe and power system. To add to that, you get aspects the S90 doesn't have such as a lighting package, larger battery bay, trailing link struts, quick connect wings, magnetic nose cone (although the S90's screw on nose is still fantastic), under belly guard, and better unpaved surface durability.

Ha-ha, that's very true. A used S90 is already difficult to sell for a decent price. I've owned several, sold them off, and repurchased new because I missed the airframe and flying it. Each time I've sold I really got hammered on the price. The last one I sold probably only sold somewhat easily because I have it a custom paint job that was black with green metallic highlights in a carbon fiber pattern on the wings, tail, and parts of the fuselage, while the underbelly was white with red pinstriping. It was a true looker for a Stinger.

Thanks! It was a complete pain, ha-ha. I actually epoxy coated the whole airframe and sanded it all down to get it as even as I could before painting. That was the nightmare. At least the painting went somewhat smooth, and it was good to see the black paint in the sun didn't make the foam popcorn thankfully due to the layer of epoxy.
At the price is this Avanti, a part of me wants to purchase two, one to keep in the stock color scheme (which I really like a lot), and one to custom paint just for fun.

You know it is just asking for some Aggressor Snow camo, T-Cat! After seeing how Seaviper's Super Scorpion came out, this would look pretty cool in that camo as well! Not planning on getting one of these to save up my hangar space, but very interested to see the custom paint schemes/mods people do when these start arriving.
