Dispite all the off topic comments :lol: it arrived today. No documentation is included, but, unless you are a complete novice, it takes about 2 minutes to figure out what needs to be done... and another 15 minutes to do it.

The "quality" of this model far exceeds it's price tag. And, it is quite a "looker" as well. The foam is very close (if not the same) as that used by Multiplex (Elapor)... very tough with a "greasy" feel to it. The motor makes about 200 watts with the included prop, so I don't expect any problems in getting her in the air. The servos seem to be up to the job... they move and center well.

The wing spar system seems well made and strong... we shall see.

She is bound to my transmitter and awaits the weekend for the maiden. Come join me... won't you?

The 54 mm CoG meant that I had to add 47 grams (2 dead "AA" batteries) of weight up front.
