I've had three of them.  Love 'em.  I cut up the first two and made some 
weird flying toys out of the parts.  The third one flew so well out of the 
box that I've left it mostly intact.  A few things make them fly longer and 
better.  Reduce weight and noise by removing the plastic side "blisters" 
that cover the gears, cut away most of the forward section of the paper tail 
vane, or all of it and replace with a small bit of scotch tape.  There's a 
website that has tons of hop-up tricks once you get bored with the 
out-of-the-box performance, which is pretty darn good already.
