    The information given in the description is accurate. This aircraft is simple to assemble, easy to balance, and flies really well on a OS .40LA. I would say a .32 is underpowered ever so slightly for windy conditions. It wants to fly and is quite forgiving. Very stable as a high wing with reasonable dihedral. Some think the landing wires are too flimsy — I disagree. Ive landed into the wing and practically landed like a helicopter. Bad pilots always blame the gear. Would work very well with a slightly heavier but less powerful .45 4 stroke in my opinion.
