This is a fun little plane. I would recommend a couple of things to those of you considering this. The speed controller that came with mine won't work with 1s, so you need a 2s pack. Keep the pack light! I tried a 300mah pack and had issues with the wing flexing during flight. I'm now using a Turnigy nano-tech 120mAh 2S 25C (added my own connector), but I think the Turnigy nano-tech 180mah 2S 25~40C would work and it has the correct battery plug. When you build the plane I would highly recommend adding a carbon fiber rod to the entire leading edge of the wing. I used 1.2mm but I think 1.5mm or a little bigger would be better. After that I had no more wing flexing issues. The plane flies faster than I expected. It will slow down but as you slow down you will begin to lose aileron control because the ailerons seem to rely on prop wash. I used the Hobby King 3.7g / .4kg / .10sec Micro Servo's and the servo horn for the aileron servo is a little small and doesn't stick out of the fuselage. It will work but I would recommend a larger one. I had hoped to add a rudder but I think the weight of an extra servo would be too much. It's a fun little plane and flies well.

Le fuselage est en matire diffrente de l'aile et de l'ascenseur: le fuselage est une mousse souple,l'aile en mousse dure. Visuellement ce n'est pas heureux, on dirait qu'ils l'ont fait avec 2 avions diffrents. Les couleurs sont franches et vives sur l'aile mais sur le fuselage elles sont comme effaes comme si vous regardez dans le brouillard. J'spre qu'il va bien voler pour compenser le visuel !

Great deal. no problems with my motor/ecu as others experienced. Detail is pretty good and the scale accuracy exceeded my expectations. Hard to find the recommended 7.4 200mah 20c battery for it. Currently using custom pack made from 2 3.7 150mah micro packs.
