Ailerons are solid, leaving the bird right where you want it with crisp response. Rolling maneuvers handle well, and look axial, particularly when you consider this to be a bipe. Rudder response is radical, letting you know each time you apply rudder that you have a positive yaw movement. This is especially nice in the point rolls, knife-edge, and stall turns. There is only a slight hint of roll coupling through the rudder, which was mixed out in the transmitter.
Snap rolls are positive, yet semi-slow in nature.
This makes it easy to get the plane to stop where you want when exiting the snap. Landing the big Bucker is not hard, as the plane slows down nicely. In fact, it has a very good glide. You will have to practice wheel landings before going to stalled landings, as the Bucker has a nasty bounce on anything but a greased, stall landing. Overall, this is a plane that any sport pilot can handle and a hot dogger will appreciate.
