This is the flight video demonstrating my Delta Ray with brushless and led mods, and especially showcasing the newly added rudder and "flaperons". The plane is tricky to fly, as you can tell the motors are brushless, and there is no SAFE. This plane can handle wind okay, but I'll probably buy a lemon-rx 6 ch with stabilization to replace the one I'm using without. I hope that next mod will help make the landings and general handling better.

P.S. I know the landing was not spectacular. At least the the roll out was very short (something you wont often get with the Delta Ray). This plane is one that, when you DO get a good landing, it is an awesome feeling. I can't recommend this plane enough! If you don't know how to fly, maybe start with a Horizon Hobby, Sport Cub S UMX, then this is a GREAT second plane. If you buy it RTF (Ready to Fly) Delta Ray it comes with a DX4 radio transmitter, and it'll come equipped with SAFE, with auto-leveling [the wings] which makes this plane EASY to fly. This plane does require a "longer" runway for takeoff and landings, but you can remove the landing gear, hand launching it and belly land it okay, but I personally don't belly land my planes, because one of my favorite aspects of flight is takeoff and landing.

One additional note. I have retracts ordered that I'm hopefully going to install and test in the upcoming weeks.
