Here is a summary of the pros and cons right here:

Pros:

- It is a beautifully colored UMX RC Plane
- Very responsive to inputs (almost to a fault)
- Nice large battery bay
- Excellent reinforcements are built-in
- I didn't pay for extra stuff I didn't want to pay for

Cons:

- It arrived with dents and dings on plane
- Difficult to see against a dark sky
- It was tough to find a good CG
- Limp wheel pant out of the box
- Packed in stinky foam

My take is what while it has some good qualities, it isn't an E-flite UMX Pitts. That is the best UMX they make and is a high bar to reach for any RC Plane. That is also the only 2S UMX prop plane I own as well. My UMX Habu and UMX MiG-15 aren't good planes to compare this one to since they are EDF Jets.

This is what Horizon Hobby has to say about it:

"The E-flite® UMX™ Sbach® 342 3D BNF Basic is a scale ultra micro RC airplane conveniently sized to fly at a park, large backyard or indoor space. Designed by world-class competition pilot and designer Mike McConville, it delivers incredible performance for precision aerobatics and extreme 3D. Thanks to its AS3X® stabilization system, it is truly amazing how much this UMX Sbach 342 3D model performs like an expertly-tuned Giant-Scale airplane. Whether you want to fly smooth scale maneuvers or wild 3D moves, AS3X technology gives you an amplified sense of authority and stability, even in moderately windy conditions."

Note: Look for an E-flite UMX PT-17 Stearman video(s) coming soon! :D
