Here are my review notes for this ZOHD Dart XL RC Plane:

Pros:
- I love the ability to configure the nose for FPV and as a camera platform using both Runcams as well as both GoPros is very impressive. I used my Runcam 2 for the onboard footage.
- It flies very stable and it a joy to fly
- This ZOHD RC Plane looks incredible in the air
- I like how it quickly goes together and that nothing is unnecessarily complicated.
- Flight time with the recommended battery is 40 minutes!
- Skids on the bottom make landing much easier and flexible
- Extra servo connections underneath are a nice extra
- The pre-cut foam chunks are very nice for FPV
- This Jumbo Dart RC Plane is also made if biodegradable BEPP Foam!

Cons:
- The stock prop was hard to balance perfectly as you can here on the full throttle pass. A different prop should be a very easy fix.
- The only thing my model seems to be missing is the gyro and launch system the original Dart came with. Everything else is very impressive!
