I set up a friend's Jade with a Futaba 8 and did the trimming and set up for him. The Jade is a very well mannered plane, especially for a full-house ship. It doesn't have the speed range of the latest contest ships, but will hold its own in a contest. I was amazed at its ability to float. It it very stable due to washout and the dihedral at the tip. If you want a contest ship, the Sapphire, Victory, or Bird of Prey would all serve the first time full-house pilot well. If you want an awesome fun ship, the Jade shouldn't let you down.
