Assign your guardian's gain to a slider and try flying it with no stabilization and let us know how you like it.

I know. Then again, this is the setup I have and if I like it on the Guardian, why change a working setup? I'm willing to accept that it's simply a plane that needs some assistance from a gyro. Looking at it from a more philosophical perspective, most modern fighter jets are unflyable without electronic assistance. It will be interesting to see if gyros and fly by wire become commonplace with RC fixed wings.

Ohh, I'm fine with gyros...it's just disappointing that this plane seems like it needs gyros, that's all. (I don't feel like it should, but what do I know)
The Sebart doesn't need gyros. The old skool Zero-G Pitts Python definitely didn't need gyros...and that was even smaller.
Bottom line is that it's my opinion that the Beast 60e should AT LEAST fly as good as the Sebart and it doesn't seem like it does.....that's disappointing.
It's also disappointing because Quique's 100cc Beast flies so good...and since Quique worked on this plane with eflite...you'd think it would AT LEAST fly better then the Sebart.
From the Horizon Product page:
"For this inaugural 60-sized iteration, the E-flite development team worked closely with Quique to ensure the impressive performance and feel of a larger aircraft came through"
That seems to be inaccurate. That is disappointing to me.
Watch the product video...does that seem like they're marketing it as "a fun, great looking sport aerobat with some 3d capabilities"
It doesn't to me.
I'll still keep with my thought that eFlite has never once produced a quality performing 3D airframe. Until that changes...no one should ever expect any Eflite plane fly 3D well.

Yeah, I hear you. My situation is a bit different, though: I basically bought a trailer that happened to have this plane in it. I had no expectations and I was prepared to part it out to recoup the money. But I think I enjoy flying it. If I want to show off my lack of 3D skills, I break out a Slick, Extra or Edge.

OK. I see what you mean now. It's got a really nasty wing rock without gyro. It's a bit weird, but manageable, with the gyro on as well. I still like it though. It's great for doing crisp knife edge passes and slow rolls and it locks into hover really well. I bet it does rolling harriers well too. But it's not the best plane for low and slow I've flown. One of the worst, actually. But I'll keep it. It's a fun plane. I've got 10 other planes for doing low and slow...

Well this is disappointing. Is there a Bipe out there that is good?
