I maidend my SH for about ~15minutes (its snowing here) yesterday.
Its nothing like a SW, its more like a flying wing. You point it to where
you want it to go. It requires flying ...and its not like flying a rubber plane(flexing).

Handlaunching was scary because the fuse is large and hard to grab, but
I gave it 60%-75% throttle and flew out of my hands like madd!....Easy! No worries.

The SH is way faster and more powerful...I flew with about 15-20mph gusts and
it was no problem....I was afraid to stall it, but it glides pretty decent, but requires
constant power to keep it level (cruises at 25%+ throttle). I was using a 4s-5500mah GenAce Lipo....

Its a great plane and and I had a lot more juice left in the flight Lipo....Im pretty sure I could of went another 20min with 'mix' flying....

Setting it up/assembling in the field is tedious. It requires about 3+ more minutes to setup
compared to a SW....If thats a lot to you, then so be it.
(its a long time when its Snowing in the field).

Overall, this plane is Wonderful. Its fast, powerful and can fly for long periods of time pending on your Lipo Capacity you load it. (and when its windy, you can fly it).....

....but what do I know, this was my very first Twin-Boom-Pusher plane...
Its best to get subjective reviews from others who fly similiar planes twin boom planes.......

p.s.
just from the maiden, this SH, I prefer more then my SuperAlulah v.2

rclab- thanks. I like those flying characteristics more than that of the SW. The SW feels a little too much like a trainer. I'll probably make the SH my summer project. After a second thought, I really dont have time to setup a new complex plane with med school and all lol. My biggest concern is trying to ROG off of rough surfaces. The SW has huge tires and a solid suspension that can soak up the worst terrain.

I do wonder how feasible it is to cut flaps into the wing. I like being able to fly in and out of tight spots with flaps.

The SH is more advance plane and it shows when flying it....the SW is for everyone, wheather newb or seasoned FPV'er....
(I'm also glad that if you break the SH, there is now a USA distributor so a new plane is quicker to get)
...I believe is Camria Hobby out of California....

Did you notice any pitching on throttle up or down?

No pitching whatsoever...only at WOT, it would go almost straight up (that was fun!)....
Here was my power setup with a 4s GenAce 5500mah....
and other Lipos....

Ahh ok. How long have you been open? Do you have any of your listed items in stock? Just not getting a warm fuzzy after visiting your site. ($68,000 hexacopter, default info listed under address and unable to even add the SH to my shopping cart).
