I've seen one kit in a LHS that is actually no longer in business (too much time spent trying to sell hockey cards and diecast toy cars and not enough time on models). I did speak to someone at a fun fly that claimed to have flown one. He wasn't overly impressed but I am not sure that means anything.

I had one. I was a beginner pilot, on my second plane and they had one on sale at the LHS. I figured, what the heck, I've wasted $20 bucks on a lot less. Besides, I loved the look of it. I figured, I would just over control it and crash it up a bit, then I could tape it up like a zagi. I built it without gear, and used the recommended battery. Found out that it is very lacking in power. You must throw it for all your worth, and then it could barely hold altitude as it slightly curved to the right. Any control input caused it to frisbee or stall. It does bounce quite high though. I think much of it had to do with the word "expert" on the box and my lack of flying skill. However, I also feel that the plane should have been able to move itself across a kitchen table at full throttle, on 3s lipos eventually.
