EPP Flash Nebula
Nothing but good to say about this plane. Quick shipment, excellent assembly instructions. very complete kit. Flies as expected, capable of very rigorous flight. Great product. Highly recommended airplane.

Just gotta say more
Just had to add some more comments about this little bird. I have now run about 15 batteries through her and have her fined tuned. This plane tracks so well! I can do almost any 3D maneuvers, expect rolling circles well. I'm working on them and the flash has been a big help in getting the circle and roll much better. According to the AMA site section about learning 3D, rolling circles are the hardest maneuver to master. So as I said in my previous review, I just ordered the other color, the "Rain." Just can't have too many 5 star planes. Roger, LA, (Lower Alabama, Roll TIde) Southern RC Flyers

Great flyer
Well pleased with this little bird. Not only does great 3D, but tracks very well. The only change I made was to mount the aileron servos 5 inches out from the fuse side and made a cut out to mount. This is to help even the force for the length of the aileron.....then covered the pre-cut holes in fuse side with 1/32" ply to strengthen. Otherwise the build is more simple than some of the other Twisted Hobbies planes. (builds like the Hacker Edge V540's) Used 20A ESC, 22/12/1250 mtr with 10x4.5 slofly prop, (gives 190 watts @ 20 amps at 12.4 v) 1000 mah 3 cell, and 12g metal gear servos. Flying weight came in at 16.1 oz. I get 5 minute flights doing constant 3D flying. Sport flying going easy can give 6 to 6 1/2 minutes. I recommend it, and eventually will probably buy the other color scheme called the Rain.

39" Flash Nebula
The build was easier and more straightforward than the other RC factory 39"s I've built. Fewer steps and some improvements. Not a fan of the clevis design. Much too fussy. This is a really nice plane which flies differently for me than either my TH Edge or Crack Yak. I feel it tracks better and draws better lines. Precision moves like point and slow rolls are easy and consistent. Low and slow 3D is outstanding and really stable. One area where it is a little behind the other 39"s is in flipping moves, like knife edge pushes (Vortex). However KE spins look great and are very consistent. All in all, if you have some of the other 39" offerings this one is still really worth getting, as it has a unique and very cool feel. Don't let the 3D trainer thing throw you. While it can be that, it is also a super precise and capable freestyle platform for experienced flyers.
