All other comments are true. Weak nose wheel mounting, loose screws, a bad servo. Beef up the nose wheel mount and carefully check all screws and connections. Great to fly though, only required minimal trim and looks awesome in the air and what a graceful lander.

Build is straight foward, had trouble with esc and motor. Sent back to warhouse for checking, was all Ok, turned out to be my Radio, and had to use a lot of motor sub trim to make low motor work and arm esc. Was Ok with Spektrum, but JR tx, needed the sub trim to fix it.

This plane is not EPO. It does mark very easily. The rudder / steering servo was stripped while testing after build. Replaced with metal gear - much better. Buy your own spinner - this one is foam.I added CF to struts and wings. Set up flaps. Have to make hinges or install them (no hardware for flaps supplied in kit) using spare 9g servos. Used 4s 2200 - ran about 30pcnt throttle after take off and trimmed out. 3s would probably be fine. Tested flaps up high and then brought plane in for landing. At full flaps plane just floats in for landing. No damage - wheels all intact. Only EPS plane I have so hope it never has a big crash as it may have to be binned...Also have the floats but won't be testing those for a while. Plane is very big and very stable. Concrete and very short grass landings are no problem.

I've had this plane a month now and flown it about 12 times. I'm new at the RC thing this year, but this plane has been a pretty easy one to fly and a lot of fun. When I first got it, 2 of the servos went out before my first flight. And the front wheel assembly is really poorly made and bent after a couple easy landings. The BIGGEST NEGATIVE is no replacement parts from HK. So you better be real sure you're not going to crash to hard. I've already had to rig some things up by myself to keep it flying. Which was no big deal and I enjoy that stuff. But just a WARNING NO REPLACEMENT PARTS so far from HK. And their 24 hr support center is not helpful in pointing you in the right direction. Enjoy!

Habe das Flugzeug vor einem Monat erhalten. Nach dem Zusammenbau ist beim testen das Servo fr das Hoehenruder ausgestiegen. ebenfalls ein Servo fr die Landeklappen. Habe folgedessen auf Grund der vielen negativen Reviews saemtliche Servos und den Regler ausgetauscht (Hoehen- und Seitenruder-Servos neu = Corona CS238MG Metal Gear Servo 4.6kg/ 22g/ 0.14sec, Landeklappen- und Querruder-Servos = Corona 929MG Metal Gear Servo 2.2kg/ 12.5g/ 0.10sec, Regler = HobbyKing Red Brick 50A ESC). Fliegt sehr schoen, mit voll ausgefahrenen Flaps landet sie im Schritt-Tempo. Fliege sie mit einem 4s 2'200 mAh Lipo, Prop ist ein 2-Blatt 11x5,5
