One of the smallest and fastest aircraft I have built to date, can easily exceed 1000 MPH level flight. Relatively stable for its size. Full throttle and gently rotate at 400, though much easier just to retract the landing gear. Surprisingly easy to land if kept fast, though it is difficult to keep upright once landed. (to take off again, retract the landing gear, and it should right itself)
