There is a fair amount of information on the web about the Aero Ace.
Because it flies so well out of the box, it has developed quite a fan club.
There are some mods that can be done to the controller that improve the
controllability.
The three or four I have seen have all been a little light in the nose.
Shifting the battery pack forward definitely helps.
If you're going to fly outside, removing the lower wing lets it fly a little
faster.
