First hand experience. They are very cheap and light. Not good. If it nearly takes two people to lift it, that is the one you want. Mine has endured 40 mph winds at a Giant Scale aerobatics contest in Las Vegas. A couple of the cheapos were destroyed. Do yourself a favor and get the heavier one. The other problem is when the things go there is a chance they are going to take out some planes in the area.
