Excellent quality for the money and really top-notch fittings (of which there are hundreds). The finish is excellent. Metal horns, articulates linkages - very high quality finish to the fuz, wings, tail feathers and spats
Problems: The downlaodable manual isn't worth the effort; I have been unable anywhere to find the c of g or aileron or elevator throws and I have had to fit under-skin wing blocks to secure the rear of the u/c pants. Also - the elevator servo holes do not line up with the hardwood inserts in the horizontal stabilisers. Some production issues here but solveable and I feel the size, price and overall design bonusus outweigh them

Just arrived and unpacked.....Looks nice if a little on the heavy side (compared to similar sized models from companies like Blackhorse etc
but no manual so have to figure everything out - like how the UC attaches, control surface movements and C of G etc - Is There a manual available???

Reasonable quality model with well applied covering and build .
Undercarriage is a little flimsy with free floating wheel pants .
No manual included (or available apparently) so I callculated the CG at 25mm forward of the wing tube......I'll let you know how that goes after the test flight !
