Has anyone else had the privilege to fly one of these birds yet?
Planes Plus will soon be selling them and this past weekend at the Internet Fly-In I had the honor to fly one. I don't know all the details but I'd planned to call Don and ask him today. I'll post the details once I get them. I do know they had a Saito 100 on the one I flew and while it flew very, very well with this motor some said it could use just a tad bit more power for 3D.
Just wanted to ask if anyone else has flown one yet and what you thought of it. I want one...
I'll also see if I can find a picture of it and post it so you guys can see it. The fuse is real skinny and the wings are like that of a giles, they are sheeted foam too. It's really cool looking and it flys so crisp.

The Saito 100 pulled mine very well during its short flight... 
I don't think Bodude's 100 is set quite right yet, and needs a bit more run time, and maybe a different prop. The 100 is more than enough power. I'm ready to get another Fiesta going to give it another try! 
The Fiesta is a very smooth flying plane, and seemed to have good 3D potential, at least the little time I got on mine. Mine was actually flying better than Bodude's, though it was short lived unfortunately.
